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.

I’m really starting to think that Reticulum is the eventual way of the future for network communications.

    You're right, but for now, until the reticulum networks get built up, Tor and I2P are going to be the only ways possible. The CuckNet will be a useless place to be, and the only place you'll actually be able to get real information is on the dark web.

    I was just checking that out here: https://reticulum.network/

    Their docs link to this related project: https://github.com/markqvist/NomadNet

    Why does this README suggest modifying the system to allow pip to break system packages?

    Then it goes on to say you might need to reboot, when simply closing the terminal for a new one should work.
