    Step 1: don’t worry you don’t even need to give it ID!

    Step 2: now pretty much everyone has implemented this, we will require ID

    Although if we put this all in the OS, as Linux users could we just replace the package? Could it be better than age verification per website

      At least there’s some nontrivial additional challenges to make the jump, such as authenticating the user is on an approved OS, and the infrastructure for identity verification itself. I like this better than other age verification mandates because those make the latter the first step, fueling the growth of surveillance tech and the companies providing it as a service.

        If its on the OS at least there is just 1 thing to bypass I suppose is the main benefit I can see with that method. Still got the question of what is an operating system? Linux isn’t an operating system, its just the kernel.
