God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it's been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

Why not, not do age verification at all?

I don’t want the government or any corporation involved in verifying anything about me online.

Yeah we should deffo support privacy watchdogs who lobby for us(customer rights, consumer rights, privacy rights etc) and advice the government and when its election time, check who's the nerd vote
