Again though, and I'm copying this from a previous response, I think it's worth remembering that this is a suggestion, and not even originally mine. If you're happier to use the current multitude of age verification services that differ on a per-site basis, with all the security vulnerabilities, risk, and inconvenience that entails, then feel free. Or bypass them using the methods suggested. I'm literally just providing a better technical solution than has been implemented. What I'm not suggesting is "this is the answer to everyone's problem". permalink fedilink source parent
