Not entirely sure what you are trying to say, other than you don't really care as long as you are not the one who is marginalised.
Anyway it's generally a tradeoff: is it worth doing it? By adding very strict age verification systems and marginalising people, do we make society globally better or not? Will those age verification systems work to prevent underage people from accessing the stuff we don't want them to access in the first place? Not clear. If they do, will it result in underage people being better? Not clear. And if it does, will it have been worth the damage on the people it marginalised? Not clear.

- MichaelZuo 3mo agoSince my old reply was flagged, this now seems like coordinated trolling. I really doubt you are genuinely incapable of understanding what “regulated electricity utilities” or “expected to provide service” means.
- palata 2mo agoI didn't downvote you, not sure what you are talking about.
- MichaelZuo 2mo agoIs this AI written? I didn’t accuse you of downvoting. It’s literally not possible for HN users to downvote the comment they reply to. Anyone with seemingly over 10k karma would know that.
- palata 2mo agoI genuinely didn't know :-). I don't generally downvote comments I reply to. I don't downvote when I disagree, I downvote when I believe the comment is very low quality, in which case I don't engage at all.
- creatacc 2mo agoA whole this voting / flagging system here is basically lottery. I can't write more than 5 posts per day and I can have negative karma because people doing more downvoting than upvoting. So there is no point to wonder, if it's coordinated trolling or not.
