"just comply bro"

Do you hear yourself?

There is no way to age check that both preserves anonymity and isn't game-able by a motivated 12 year old.

"It'd be handy" isn't a good argument for taking away our rights to privacy.

    You forget about sudo? If you give up the password, that’s on you. That’s the whole idea of letting the OS handle it. You aren’t trusting some other service with your info. It’s all on you if your kids get around it.

    Complying would be installing back doors to id.me or some other such nonsense and the hell with that.
