People act as if it was a bug and not a feature. This was intended. After people sufficiently make fun of the current solution that everyone knows how easily it is broken, the next step is requiring both ID and face scan and comparing photo on ID with face scan. Congrats, privacy is removed completely. Every poster is now tied with real life identity.
The usual playbook.
“Well, now that they found ways to bypass the checks, we need to introduce even more checks. Let’s make them spit into a device every time they turn on a PC, then check their age based on their genetic markers.” - Politicians
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
it’s not just the author, but the author’s address, friends, family, employer, coworkers, shopping list, where they go and what they do in their spare time, what kind of health issues they have, who they’re having affairs with–pretty much everything, wrapped up in a bow by AI, ready to be spreadsheeted/cross-referenced across all those data points.
what fascists do
Dig deep enough, you’ll find something on anyone.
Then just tick the ‘straight to jail’ box next to the names that are the ‘wrong’ color
and any skeletons in your closet apparently only matters if you’re opposed to fascism… be maga = get away with literally anything
They’re doing this age verification on purpose just to spy on adults lol
Don’t forget that they are also doing this to desensitize and normalize this for children…
Fascism starts with attacking the minorities. In this case minors are the tool, and reducing their rights to ashes will only enable further progression of fascism. It essentially feeds on discrimination.
Agreed. Divide and conquer
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.
