I don't think online porn kills 40,000 americans every year. I even suspect that maybe theoretical impairment detection tech that doesn't exist yet is not the same thing as facebook wanting to tie all of your online activity to your ID.
The point is age verification is not for protecting the kids, and it doesn't. It either makes kids easier to find or excludes them from learning tech in their free time so they don't inderstand how computers work, taking tech control and ownership of em.
The government couldn't give less of a fuck about them, except for actually fucking them. Same for this, it won't protect anyone, it'll just dynamically increase gas prices or some shit.
So you agree with everything else I said?
Sure whatever, everything else was unrelated to anything I've said.
You live under a rock if you think this info will not be used against you.
Yeah sure the tech that only exists in your head is probably going to work the way it does in your head.
