  What he wants are just OS level parental controls. If enabled the OS tells apps that the user is underage. Like the only info is:

  underage: true/false

  Hey I have a better idea

  How about they fuck off and talk to internet router hardware companies to make decent software UIs, with defaults that make sheep masses actually use them to ‘protect the children’ client side where it actually works

  Oh because its not actually about that and the powers that be don’t actually give a rats about protecting children and this whole protect the children conversation is a red herring to allow them to push their real goals which include but are not limited to mass censorship of people who disagree with and resist their opinions, actions, and agendas

    The real trick is we need the governments to back down and just make sure we have the power to allow/deny our kids access.

  I mean uploading your government ID or having to share your biometric data via video is also just as terrible. There is no guarantee that these companies will not fuck it up sell your data get hacked etc. Instead of an ID number linked to you and they now have a copy of your identity.

    Right and attaching it to your phone just means you click. “Send Daved Video” instead of “Record”.

    They are still going to have it for their own records
