It's horrible. I would also play along under your circumstances but if I don't absolutely have to, I will not send any identification to big tech companies or online sites in America. I'm swedish and I don't need to use any American sites.

I will give up YouTube, email, search engines... And replace them with any option without this bullshit.

Life is no longer worth living. I'm basically done.

But don’t worry! All you need to do is give them all your private information, your passport, your driver’s license, and your first born and it’ll all be fine!

Weird. I had to solve a bunch of CAPTCHAs and also I have a limited set of services I use daily.

Check you IP on a blacklist checker. I was (am) on one for no apparent reason. They will do that, I was refused email accounts, refused access to wikipedia talk, and corporate emails keep trying to force me to hand over personal information. Tutamail may still give you an email, don't bother with proton.

You don't need to do anything just go to the site, if it's the same one, and click check, and it goes through several dozens of these blacklisting sites.

That can be caused by how the browser is set up. If you use Firefox with resistFingerprinting disabled and the only privacy extension being uBlock Origin then the sites should work fine.

You can at least block ageverif.com with uBO

Curious to know this as well. I think it’s possible, but I myself am not capable of writing the filter.

@ZeroHora This is just a facade so that we eventually take over the world, but shh!!

It might get there eventually but for now we can probably continue to coast on various combinations of general ineptitude, cheapness, laziness, and ignorance on part of people implementing these systems.

You could make a website from this. Great idea. I want to see the comments.

@Maeve @privacy Haven't tried but it should be! Follow the instructions on GitHub!

@cipherd Snooping around in the console and not wanting to show my face to some random website! Also, reading the docs on their site helped.More technical details github.com/helloyanis/agecheck

Don't link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!

Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)

Some highlights from the link:
