      Basically the pornhub data leak and republicans leadership blackmail and embarrassment will pull these laws… but then again… the Epstein files clearly show frequent customer Trump and nobody has done anything.

      Go ahead, ask for my ID, I’ll just fucking stop using the internet for anything but paying bills… I’m not doing this stupid bullshit, every idiot company on the planet seems to have access to all my information at a whim to lose when they please with no repercussions, I just ain’t doing this shit anymore.

    3. This won’t just age-gate kids. It’ll normalize identity checks everywhere, and the data will eventually leak. It always does.

      The hilarious part is that the same group of people who wanted/voted/advocated for a nanny state government to make sure that all the OTHER scary dangerous things get taken away from everyone so that no one can get hurt, are the same people who are now crying about this nanny state thing and saying „I didn’t think the leopard I voted for would eat MY face too!“

    5. Maybe they should age-gate online ads, you know, to protect the kids. That’s the only scenario I’d support this.

      Lack of regulation and social media sites with no moderation have brought us a lot of the way here.

      All parents have to do is use parental controls. It’s not that hard. I’m completely for mandatory pc on all devices as an alternative for age verification if it gets lazy parents to parent.

    8. It’s acceptable to surrender information when the extractor is „market-based,“ but intolerable when the extractor is openly sovereign.

      It’s just the latest rage bait providing a hollow purpose for sjws.

      All part of a concerted effort to id every ip and account and have ai collect everything looked at, done, or said, from all aspects of life, and using half baked formulas to issue warnings to surrepticiously send directives to government agencies and businesses.  To creat social scores, determining if you get that job, pass the background check, get the mortgage, down to what search results or websites you are shown.

      Social scores formulated by the ilk of the  anti christ peter thiel’s palantir at that.  He is pure malice, harbouring ill will towards people and liberal democracy itself.

      This is the trojan horse, our politicians are insisting we bring inside the walls of our republics.  Redesigned as a trojan sheep to make it look more like the citizens they are appealing to.

    10. The problem isn’t age gating.

      The problem is that age gating ***without a secure national ID system and strong data protection laws*** is a recipe for disaster.

      Straight up dystopian but maybe I’ll go outside more if this is implemented haha

      broadcasting openly on the internet should be protected as a 1st amendment freedom of speech

      Good thing Reddit (the business, not the users) will have no bias whatsoever in how they allow this issue to be presented.

      Simple solution for porn providers, don’t have a physical/legal presence in any state with those laws and then just ignore them. There’s not a damn thing they can do about it but whine.

    15. How is it that it’s all right wing jerkoffs constantly screaming about “the surveilance state” who have been successfully tricked into registering with their ID to be allowed to use the internet?

    16. I feel like it’s not unreasonable to have checks like this if it’s done w/ a reliable 3rd party. For example, something like what Paypal is (or was) for online commerce. I was never a fan of putting my card info everywhere. But Paypal handled the transaction. So I didn’t need to worry about that.

      Now, if we could have some sort of centralized ID system similar to that, then okay. Go to a porn site or whatever and it says „Are you 18?“ Authenticate against 3rd party that knows me. The website doesn’t need to know who I am, only that I’m over 18. No personal information, just „Yep, they’re good.“ Secure it, lock it down tight, Bob’s your uncle.

    17. When there are REAL consequences for companies leaking your data then i *might* consider this ok. But otherwise, I’ll use a VPN until those are banned and then at that point, pull the plug.

    18. activists are pushing back precisely because this is not about age gating the internet (for safety).

      it’s about forcing everyone to prove who they are and submit some form of ID to use the internet.

      tech bros are tired of trying to figure out who everyone is by the browser fingerprints and cookies, so they just want you to TELL THEM so they can make more money off YOUR data.

    19. Sure, activists are fighting in the system that is completely controlled, rules and all by the oppressors.

      Let me know when y’all ACTUALLY fight back like a good chunk of the world has been the past year.

    20. i remember the first time i went on the internet, i was 6 and had to go to a library, it was 1994.
      i had an ear infection and cotton balls in both ears.

      i was researching about bats.

      a literal news crew was filming me use the computer, then came up behind me and asked me what i was doing. i told them, very ineloquently that i was researching bats because i think they are cool.

      i barely remember any of this but yeah, good times when you could just research whatever and learn about it and that was mostly what it was for.

      the internet is so omnipresent now. it has been twisted into this extraction device built around gaming human
      psychology. it overtook capitalism itself.

      i miss being 6 and just wanting to have fun. rosebud. please clap

    21. I think the should take Trump’s Internet access away before anything. The man does more damage to our society than any teenager I know
