Literally every type of age verification ever put into place has been circumvented by children. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
When I was little, my mom used to send me to the store with a note that said to sell me cigarettes, and that they were for her. When I started smoking, I used to reuse the notes to get my own smokes. I got my first fake ID at 13 so I could buy beer.
did anyone actually read the pdf?
here is the wikipedia article about the organisation doing the “research”. read their partners list and see if your conclusion changes
Age checks are common and seen as easy to complete. About half of children (53%) say they have recently been asked to verify their age, most often when setting up new accounts. According to children, the following methods were described as easy: uploading a government ID document (88%), facial age estimation (89%) and using a third-party app (88%).
Wow, they are really teaching children to upload their government ID to random internet websites who ask for it. Identity theft heaven.
Yeah, because it isn’t about that. They don’t give a fuck about kids seeing porn. Even when there are age checks, there will be plenty of free porn.
It’s all about being able to connect an online post with the author.
Extremely stupid idea for a law but I don’t think the people who are for this did it to sneak in surveillance. I think they are simply too stupid to understand digital tech and internet and how these laws won’t work to fix the problems they are trying to solve - namely that a lot of young do too much of the bad internet. The surveillance thing is just a bonus
