@TimWardCam I'm all for authentication and verification, when there's a point, when it adds something, when it actually makes things better.
When it becomes a invasive privacy issue for citizens that are already under surveillance by governments *and* tech giants, it's not quite the same thing.
Rule #1: Politicians should need to understand what they're actually trying to pass laws for, and how that works in reality.
Rule #2: See Rule #1@joho I did always try to follow rule #1 when passing laws as an elected politician (councillors don't get to pass much in the way of laws, but planning policies count as they have legal force and real effects on real people).

@joho would like to hear a reason to worry about this that does not imply that one might be a child predator.

I think you can imagine what "getting your ID before entering in a computer" implies, well before age related issues.
Besides that, treating children (specially teenagers) like livestock without agency instead of valid persons with valid thoughts and a valid ability to contribute to culture and society feels beyond wrong.
But that's about minor's rights, and by what you said you wouldn't even allow them to vote with some arbitrary "they're stupid" logic.@Nawer_Rapter @joho I hear you, it does sound like different problems right? Being able to vote or use the internet is not necessarily connected with being underage, but some platforms are illegal for underaged for a reason, and companies providing such services to underage kids are the ones that need to be punished for, interestingly enough, treating them as livestock.

@joho Scan your face or upload id if you have different political opinions than ruling party.

@Nawer_Rapter @joho how is age related with sexual orientation?
They're not asking solely age. Remember that the drive to ask for IDs is led by Meta. They're using this platform partly to divert blame, but also part to increase the accuracy of their profiles. Which everyone has, as Facebook has cookies on vast majority of websites, not just their own.
Second, they're not asking age solely on sites intended for kids, but on places where people would talk of their politics and preferences. Such as, say, gay person in Russia.

@davey_cakes @joho your argument is pretty broad, like this is about having all of your life data somehow being uploaded (fun fact, big tech already does a pretty good job with this for profit).
but at the same time it is pretty clear that fascism can pop up out of nowhere and then such data could be brutally misused indeed.

@iju @Nawer_Rapter @joho if Meta is behind this, then it is really problematic

@joho Good Lord. I'm so ready to reduce both my screen and internet time significantly.

It is. This isn't about pedofiles per se, but that kids are using Meta's services before they're of minimum age (iirc 13...16 depending on location). As Meta's services are repeatedly proven to be bad for mental health by design (as happy people don't spend monies), they can't fix the root cause.
So instead of overhauling their systems to be healthy, they're trying to get everyone to give them their IDs.
It's essentially the same discussion as with tobacco.
