We all know “proof of age” or “age verification” is synonymous with mass surveilance, but the words “proof of age” were cleverly choosen so the average person considers it the same as showíng another person a driver’s license. Unecessary or otherwise it’s only a minor inconvenience. And there is no harm to privacy.

So what should we call “proof of age” or “age verification” which is just as punchy, but communicatee the real intent? How can we subvert this attack on our rights by turning these twisted words against themselves?
