Hah, so they too prefer to police minors instead of companies.

You mean everyone, not just minors.

It's what this madness requires: everyone is a child until they can prove otherwise. To an age verification company that's existed for 2 weeks and definitely isn't lying or incompetent...

And of course they do. Can't risk a CEO crying wolf and it being real for once. Think of "the economy".

I hate this timeline. ๐Ÿ˜’
