     Age verification is internet control by the Epstein class.

     @gamingonlinux I think this is the wrong angle. The age checking is the problem.
     If a company wants to block me from their stuff because I refuse to open my private life and details wide for whoever wants in, that's their loss.
     If I really want their stuff, I'm fine with saying yarrr.

     @MachineLordZero that angle had already been done, it hasn’t stopped the laws that in some cases are already here - this is about the right now

     @gamingonlinux Had a thought about how to put my feelings into words better.
     Likening it to someone trying to stuff me into a sack, I do not want to be in the sack.
     There being a hole in it like the exemption looks to me like a potential start on not being in the sack.
     If anything I would like the exemption to be bigger and apply to more people, so that if problems do arise from it, the government has a harder time simply cancelling the exemption.
     Hopefully this will weaken this bullshit further

     @gamingonlinux It would be good if we could set that age manually in our systems, maybe using the fields systemd implemented a while ago. That way we can just set our birth day to Linus Torvalds' birthday or something like that! Regardless, the best would be tto have age verification dissapear!
