Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

No, it's pretty clear that you're the one that LOVES where the world is going. You have zero interest in changing where things are going, you just want the satisfaction of saying "I told you so".

Well, guess what. Everyone else already knows everything you do. The volunteers are systemd aren't going go to jail for you. They haven't implemented age verification yet (no, an optional field in a schema is nothing close to verification) because they haven't been forced to yet. If laws pass such that they have to add it or go to jail, yes they'll implement it.

And when that happens, it will be because people like you took the effort to divide us instead of presenting a unified front against the corporations that are lobbying to take away our privacy.

But you won't care about the last part, because you'll be feeling too smug from "calling it".
