      But that isn’t mandated in the laws

      Regardless they can destroy the clearnet and we’ll make our own internet with blackjack and hookers

      It’s back to the same question from the early days of the Internet. “How do you know the person you are talking to isn’t a cat?”. How can you know they aren’t a cat or maybe a clever monkey taking a break from typing Shakespeare, or how old they are, or who they even are?

      You can’t.

      You can implement every security measure available and anyone can simply lie or bypass it.

      If by some miracle they actually implemented some age verification tech for OS and websites and the Internet as a whole, it will just pop up an underground market of “fake IDs” or hacks to get past it.

          Same with Flock and Ring and all the smartphone apps with location access we carry around all day.

          We’ve slowly given away every last shred of privacy and have no increased security or happiness from it. In fact I believe our safety and security is FAR worse under mass surveillance than if we simply “did nothing”. Surveillance and police and punishment do not really stop crime or help protect anyone, it just opens up dozens of other avenues for harm.

          Also, I don’t know about you guys, but I feel icky being out in public now. I’m so painfully aware that I’m being filmed from 15 different angles as I walk or drive or do anything, I feel like I’m being stalked and it’s creepy.

              Even better idea for a new fashion trend. Cans of black spray paint and paintball gun accessories, with a cute little strap. And if a few cameras get accidentally blinded well that’s just the price we are willing to pay to slay.

      I expect I’ll need a phone that I turn on from time to time that’s got all my details logged so I can access things like banking and tax.
