You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

Unfortunatelly agree with that thing, id verification is not all-way cure.

One my friend has 2 PhD in math and physics and he does not have driver license...

And he does not want to get one.

Here in NSW, we had photo drivers licences. If you didn't have a licence. As a student you could apply for a similar photo id card, so you could prove who you were.

A number of years later they brought out a photo id card for anyone that wanted it. People like me who didn't drive and wasn't a student, but was always asked for such id when going to the pub or setting up bank accounts etc.

I listened to 3 hours of talk back radio full of callers, who would have had drivers licences and likely had passports and hadn't been asked for id at the pub in decades, all up and say we were heading to an authoritarian state because the government announced that people who didn't have photo id, could now get it, to make their lives easier, if they wanted to.
