2 day account advocating for censorship. Hmmm very convincing.
Fair. I'm an addict.
But you still didn't respond to the criticism that there are no other better ideas offered to protect children online.
How will an adult offering up their photo identification protect children? Let's say I'm a pedophile who's targeting children. Will I upload a video of my face or Government ID to prey on children on Discord, or will I pretend to be younger and not identify myself? Your argument makes no sense. Also, what are you talking about being an addict for? It's completely irrelevant here.
Isn't the entire point to "protect" the children from "being corrupted" by that evil porn and other adult content? It's not about protecting them from pedophiles, it's about keeping them nice and innocent so it's even easier for the pedophiles to groom them.
