This isn’t about being “age-checked”. It’s about IDing everyone on the internet and tracking where they go and what they do.

The world we live in is far far worse than anything from 1984.

Exactly this.

Governments have a rock hard boner for detailed face scans of every person.

I think that’s the tech side windfall, the age checking is entirely to put road blocks infront of boobies. They it will force places to just not service those regions because of the hurdles of convincing enough people to give their ID, some will, and more over time.

And it now gives I people a reason to actually create fake IDs or just more identity theft uses. Raise the value of obtaining people’s ID is the windfall for the data rapers

No, 1984 is way worse, but what we have is still awful.
