Well, I cannot bypass Youtube's age restriction anymore without either taking a selfie or showing an ID or giving my credit card number (lemmy.ml)

Do not listen to this guy.

You're literally in Gestapo times and talking about "compromising" sensitive personal information, like they wouldn't be able to track you down in an instant with a few breadcrumbs.

    Well yah. I mentioned not using YouTube anymore. That's a viable option.
    So is moving to the wilderness somewhere, and living off the grid.
    Or to a poor country where it's isn't financially worthwhile to for companies to track everyone.

    Yes, but you were casting compromise as a choice between giving your CC info and your ID, and making it look like these are all inevitable to the end user.

    Let's not forget that Google is the bad guy enacting these rules, and for Pete's sake, stop blaming the user.

    Does it seem plausible that someone would forget about the shitty situation, in a discussion about the least bad option in said shitty situation?

    Do we really always need to point out the obvious thing we're already talking about?

    I certainly hope not.
