Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for privacy. But between setting up the birthdate when creating my children’s local account on their computers, and having to send a copy of their ID to every platform under the sun, I’d easily chose the former.
I’d even agree to a simple protocol (HTTP X-Over-18 / X-Over-21 headers?) to that.
That’s your decision. The rest of us shouldn’t be forced into it just because you’re to lazy to watch what your kids are doing online. If a website thinks they need to my my age they can ask me and I’ll decide if I want to provide it or not. I don’t want my OS just handing it out to anyone who asks.
Come on, it’s not about tending to a selected group of people, it’s about mandating more surveillance. OP has done nothing to deserve this anger
Read his fucking post. He said he wants this so he doesn’t have to put in ID every time his kids want to use a new service online. What do you call that if not laziness?
You idiot or brain-damaged? Is OP the person proposing/lobbying the legislation? Read his fucking post yourself, dumbass. He said he’d easily choose the option and asks why it can be a bad thing to do
Doesn’t matter if they’re the one proposing it, they’re arguing in favor of it, that makes them part of the problem. People like that saying “well, this gross invasion of privacy isn’t that bad for me” are why we have so much invasive bullshit going on in the first place.
Bullshit. But you are welcome to remain in your bubble, useful idiot that you are
What fucking bubble? Who am I a useful idiot to? People that are against this shit fucking legislation? Good. I’ll gladly oppose this garbage at every turn, and anyone who isn’t against it can go fuck themselves.
Shut the tuck up already, warrior of the idiocy
not what OOP said. why is this such a trigger for you that basic reading comprehension goes out the door?
Genuine question, what if the only information it hands out is that you are over 18? Would it be different if all it was able to say is you aren’t a child?
Because you’re going down what they call a slippery slope.
This shouldn’t even be a thing. This shouldn’t even be a conversation.
We were doing just fine before the Epstein Republicans got their matching orders.
they call it that because it usually is a fallacy

It changes nothing. This is just to get their foot in the door and when it doesn’t work they’re going to escalate. I’m not interested in giving them a fucking inch. Big tech collects enough data on us as it is, we don’t need to make it easier for them.
They already have a giant list of pedos they aren’t dealing with. If they want me to trust their intentions are to protect children they need to start with that.
