    I wonder how that will work in reality to older people?

    Google/Steam/Microsoft: “We need you to verify you are over 16.”
    Me: “Seriously? I’ve been buying stuff from you on credit card nearly that long, and my account was created over 16 years ago.”

      This is gonna be such a shitshow.

      The day it goes live will be the first time a lot of people even find out what their political overlords signed them up sold them out for.

    Yeah they keep phrasing this as something “kids will face” and how, exactly, will sites know it’s a child who should be protected from the evil internets and not me, a post menopausal woman nearing fucking fifty?

    They won’t.
