    Age verification is stupid. I wonder if anyone thought of using a captcha. Require users to solve an appropriately complex problem before they use systems that require a certain amount of intelligence.

    Would be fun to embed empathy quizzes for access to social media 😄

      Age verification is stupid, but it’s also not the goal.

      Nearly all of the “think of the children” is really just subtext for “we want to be able to track literally everything you do”.
