It’s more about a difficulty barrier.
You could grab your Dad’s ID, you could AI his face and his voice. But if that’s too inconvenient/finicky for 90% of the population, that’s good enough for the coercive control it’s intended to create.

Bruh kids these days manage to steal a teacher’s login to access the school wifi. Then they also have VPNs to bypass the firewall. They be playing video games in the school lunchroom lmfao. I seen it.

At our school (in the 90s), Duke Nukem 3D was installed on the entire computer lab. You could play death matches against everyone over LAN.
They even set up a keyboard shortcut to instantly kill the game, unmount the partition it was on, and drop you back to your working directory when the teacher walked up to your seat.

Kids these days? I remember putting a IRC/Runescape combo program on a flash drive so I could play Runescape with my guild during computer class 20 years ago. I have no idea why it got around the network restrictions, but it did.
