If they doing this might as well ban books also for harmful content to children:

Has anyone got any half decent ideas for how to improve age verification? Obvs without this draconian shit.

I had a thought once about doing it with NFTs, where a company could independently verify you with certain metadata, like 'is human' or 'is over 18' etc. Then you get issued your token, and these sites can verify you without de-anoninising you.

Not sure if that's a naff idea, but would be interested to know if anyone's got anything better

It doesn't need to exist at all. Parents should take responsibility for their children's internet usage.
