   Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.

     @Tutanota I was a child, with a computer, and someintelligence. The one thing "Age Verification" won't do is protect children.

     In fact, there is a strong chance it will endanger children. People will figure out how to manipulate it. Then, that predator "must be a child, since the system verified they are" and will be approved to access online spaces for kids.

     That's before we even consider data breaches.
