Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn

Here in Florida, the ENTIRE argument is about passing a law that keeps kids off all Social Media. To do that requires age-verification, but since kids don’t have a way to do that, they will age-verify EVERYONE, and kids won’t be able to get past that.
And like everything they do, it’s a fool-proof system that the MAGAs have designed. Surely no kid will ever learn their parents password, or borrow their Dad’s ID for the verification process, etc. If I were a kid, I wouldn’t sneak my Dad’s wallet in the middle of the night, and take a photo of the front and back of his Drivers Licence for future reference. No kid will ever figure that out, right?
Of course they will. So we’re going to surrender our anonymity on the Internet, just so we can implement an extremely flawed system that won’t work, but that’s OK, because keeping kids off the Internet was never the objective, tracking every single person using the Internet is the real objective.
And people will surrender that basic right, “for the kids.”
