Comment on Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled

  For real. What is stopping a program from querying if an account is an adult or child, and then seeing if there’s an email or username or whatever tied to that account age?

  So now we have a database of children with their names and emails? Addresses? Or if a system gets hacked and that information is sold to bad actors?

  What is stopping a pedophile from making a “child” account and then being lumped in with a group of other children?

  These are things you think about in the first 10 minutes of questioning whether something like this is viable and how it can be exploited.

    I think that ICE will be sent information about children, and then they will ship the good looking kids to the highest bidder.
