A really good post worth sharing about the reality of age verification that’s beyond the simplistic idea that this is just like showing an id in person.
Oppose age verification legislation here:

  This is nothing like showing ID at the liquor store 🪪🧵 Finally, it's important to take note that age verification online is nothing like showing an identification card to be able to purchase alcohol. This often-used comparison is disingenuous. If we stay within this analogy of the analogue world, then online age verification is more comparable to showing an official identification card at the liquor where the cashier would make thousands of photocopies of it, store some in an unlocked drawer, share some with all other liquor stores worldwide, also share some with grocery stores, newspapers, their friends, and random strangers on the street. Then leave a bunch of copies on the floor, for anyone to grab. Nobody would accept to show their ID at the liquor store if it was happening that way. But sadly, most people ignore the extent to which data is shared, lost, and stolen online, on a daily basis. (7/9) #StopIDSurveillance #Privacy #HumanRights #AgeVerification #CanPoli #Canada
