      They’re already doing the verification and it’s not going away. I definitely prefer a better way to do it

        That “it’s not going away” attitude is the fucking problem…

        We should fucking fight it, either by good or by bad, because that defeatism is what they want, they want us to think that TINA, then, little by little, force ourselves to do things that at first would seem unacceptable to us.

          But in this case there’s already a lot worse system in place. Why not get a better system while also fighting the verification thing?

              I’m pretty indifferent to there being age gates. I hate the shitty implementation though, I’d never sent my id to random sites

            No, get rid of the bad system and be done with it. No compromise. This isn’t something that needs to exist at all.

              I sincerely wish you luck in your endeavor, but I’m not very optimistic about it so in the meanwhile, better system would be better

                oh you can go and wish good lucks to yourself too, because you will need it if this becomes widely adopted

                  Age checks are already widely adopted, using a lot worse system. This new system that’s better is being implemented

                  So no luck needed for that at least

              I mean I’d rather get crumbs than nothing? lol

              Just seems pragmatic to me

              Wouldn’t that be the best system? This system is a lot better but better just means better than the other thing

                  Slightly better is still better, but imo a site knowing just an age range (18+) of someone they don’t know compared to them having a picture of my id with all my info (name, dob, social security number, face, all that) is a lot, a lot better imo
