If you stop minors from accessing the mainstream public social media sites/platforms, they’ll just accept it obediently and won’t try workarounds. What could be worse than an instagram addiction? The UK is about to find out.

Piracy will soon become the only way to consume a lot of content without verifying your identity. The internet is being destroyed in a multi-pronged approach

I hate when people validate the core idea of needing to protect children through age verification. Timmy lying about being over 18 to look at some boobs is not a problem that needs to be resolved. It’s like requiring everyone to wear body cameras specifically to prevent store clerks from being rude to you.

The people who can verify their identity will be less willing to share their opinion on certain topics once they know they aren’t anonymous. I’m certain this is one of the goals. The reactions to political news, world events, law proposals and atrocities will be far more muted and it will be easier to control the population.
