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.


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?
not what OOP said. why is this such a trigger for you that basic reading comprehension goes out the door?
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
