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?
I don’t know, but I’m about to go to a church and swipe some religious asshat’s purse or wallet while they’re preying and use their ID to watch pr0n.

Identity theft. Because it is: they will steal your identification data and sell it to the highest bidder.
Censorship by stealth.
… because that’s what it amounts to.
Platforms will start making their content “acceptable” to the “general consensus” (ie. right wing bible bashing hetero caucasians) in order to allow general access to content.
“Unsuitable” material, like sex education, domestic violence advice, sexual orientation and religious freedom will “vanish” from the internet, just like it already is across the platforms run by USA billionaires.
Those who fail to comply will be taken to court and those too small to fight will close down their internet presence.
The credit card companies are already doing this for anyone who sells anything they don’t like.
This current wave is just more of it.
It has absolutely nothing to do with keeping children safe, and everything to do with control.
