Age verification proposals are often presented as a simple tradeoff: sacrifice a little privacy to better safeguard children online. But that framing overlooks a more fundamental question. What happens to people who cannot verify their age at all? This is particularly a problem when users are required to prove their age with identity documents.

This brand of edgy humor is so weird. The children aren't legislating your rights away, they're having their rights encroached on right along with you, by the Epstein class no less, a band of ghouls that have proven to be waaay more dangerous to children than adults
