weird how "mitigating incentives" for the rich is actually done by legislating the people.

Corporations want you to assume that ID verification is inseparable from holding them accountable.

However it is entirely possible to write the law such that companies aren't required to verify user age, BUT once they have reason to believe they are providing services to an underage person they must suspend the account and investigate.

If corporations had their way we would have to upload our ID and they would be able to target children.

Don't get tricked. We can hold them accountable without giving them our personal data.
