    Your arguing for the elimination of privacy as a solution to privacy.

    You are naive if you think this is anything other than a demand from advertisers to ensure it is human being advertised to and not a bot.

      I don’t think you understand the situation. They’re already doing the id verification. They’re not going to stop with that. I’d much prefer telling a site I’m 18+ than having to send in photos of my id to every random website out there. 🤷‍♂️

        They are not going to stop it with people like you rolling over. Pathetic, but I guess you can pretend there is a silver lining.

        Oh wait, that silver lining is apparently you bending over, dropping trow, spreading those cheeks and shouting, “is that wide enough!”

          That’s very nice but you could still have your fight about the thing while having a much better system in place. Then you get your fight against it and everyone gets less of their info out there.

          It’s just a horrid system, sending pictures of your id with all your info on it, to random sites

            I have already said I won’t be using any site requiring this unless there is a work around. I will not make advertisers lives easier. Fuck them.

            While I am generally inclined to pick the lesser of two evils, not in this case. So while you are not wrong about a centralized system being less problematic, I personally cannot accept it. I gave up Meta, Zombie Twitter, Reddit, etc already.

              I think even without sending pics of you id to random sites you can see the benefit of a system where the only info being shared is “18+ yes/no”. As many people won’t be fucked over by data leaks at least

                  How? Now people are sending their photo ids to many sites. With the app you’d be sending a cryptographic key that tells the site nothing else than the person who has this, is 18+
