That's very nice but you could still have your fight about the thing while having a much better system in place. Then you get your fight against it and everyone gets less of their info out there.

It's just a horrid system, sending pictures of your id with all your info on it, to random sites

    I have already said I won't be using any site requiring this unless there is a work around. I will not make advertisers lives easier. Fuck them.

    While I am generally inclined to pick the lesser of two evils, not in this case. So while you are not wrong about a centralized system being less problematic, I personally cannot accept it. I gave up Meta, Zombie Twitter, Reddit, etc already.

    I think even without sending pics of you id to random sites you can see the benefit of a system where the only info being shared is "18+ yes/no". As many people won't be fucked over by data leaks at least
