Forgivable, people really didn't understand the internet at the time. However, that time is passed.
Parents should know better. They have parental tools. Use them.

The one thing "Age Verification" won't do is protect children.

In fact, there is a strong chance it will endanger children. People will figure out how to manipulate it. Then, that predator "must be a child, since the system verified they are" and will be approved to access online spaces for kids.

That's before we even consider data breaches.

I believe the correct term is "surveillance age discrimination and censorship."

The fossil fuel industry wants to de-dollarize the trade in sanctioned oil.

Cryptocurrency is a fraud that risks global financial destabilization. It's unregulated banking.

Trump's fascist billionaires use it to evade taxation, hide assets, & fund anti-democracy movements.

When you’re at home, do you let your kid surf the web on the PC unabated? If you do, then I can understand why this would be difficult to grasp. Most parents would monitor what their children have access to on the home PC so there is no reason why it shouldn’t be done on their mobile devices as well. Parents have had twenty years to do this and they failed, now the government will step in and do it for you.
