Maybe the whole corporate internet. Unless we're forced into aol style portals by the death of net neutrality i think most of the lemmy user base will be fine. Shout-out to /c/selfhosted for those looking to get ahead of the permission gate.

Tor, and mesh networks. Every article brings me closer to going hard just for the lulz.

I don't know what they are thinking, but i protect my ID data more than i protect my credit card data.

Suppose true, then we'll reduce the use of "the whole Internet".

OK, we won't, no tools yet.

I really love Briar, except it's functionally not quite there yet, and the desktop kind of such application synchronized with neighboring ships, so to say, with a delay-tolerant Web alternative, would be good. Over various links and media.

Anyway, it's not a technical problem, it's a social problem. Not really different from ID checks on the streets and everywhere you go in the city, except much of the city got virtualized. And ID checks on the streets are automated by cameras everywhere and face recognition.

Social problems are resolved in the legal, social, protest, civil war fields.

Google already changed logged out YouTube to a single row of recommendations and a button to login on roku and Android shield when it used to look like the logged in version just a couple weeks ago. Probably the kick I needed to get off, mostly just using it for a couple smaller call-in/debate streamers I can switch to a podcast or other version.

Does anyone vaguely remember those internet licenses from that Star Trek DS9 episode when they went back in time but it was the near future from the 80s perspective meaning that it's actually today?

We're going to have internet licenses soon

Seems to me, there's no real way to age verify people. This is pointless.

Want ID? Kids can just upload a fake one.

The app wants access to your phone's camera, so it can use ai to assess your age? Well I don't know for certain, but I'm 99.9% there's probably a way to trick your phone into using a virtual camera, showing images of a middle-aged man.

What ever method of age verification, someone will figure out a way to trick it, and kids will be onto the trick very quickly.

No one needs the internet outside of work. The moment I'm forced to show my ID or get my face scanned, I'm done for good.

Can you have age verification and still be anonymous on the Internet? (Fixed fukted typo)
