Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

Quite right, there's a scale of freedom of speech and the world is sliding down. The independent media, like newspapers with real journalists went first to the media barons like Murdoch, then we got the internet and some independence returned, along with an anonymous voice for the masses, then facebook et.al. corrupted that independence and controlled the voice with algorithms and network effects, and now this. All downhill.
