LOVE this article from my man @zackwhittaker:
“Age verification laws are a lazy way for politicians and governments to appear as if they are tackling online child safety, but without any forethought to the future consequences of amassing vast banks of personal information for verifying people's identities. Rather than holding the ultra-wealthy tech and social media giants accountable for their actions, cowardly and toothless governments are instead requiring ordinary people to shoulder the legal burden. These are the same tech companies that don't pay any tax, all the while governments let them get away with it.”

@scottwilson love this illustration because it is exactly what I was thinking. One thing we can do (while perhaps not enough, but something) is require more sites to have a welcome/caution page like this
