Exactly. Today you can enter Jan 1 1800 and it will take it. That’s not the problem.

The real problem is the precedence it sets. An asinine rule gets passed and companies adhere to it, meaning they are enforcers.

Tomorrow when laws require real verification, like ID scan then they’ve already agreed to be the gate keeper for said asinine laws. It’s harder to back out at that point.

It’s all surveillance and it should be stopped.
