As age-verification bullshit becomes more common, I am determined to simply not participate in any service or video game that requires it. The day I see the prompt, is the day I leave.
Maybe the government’s hope is that I stop participating in society, but I assure you that I will not. I’ll find or build alternatives, and refuse to comply with bad law.
I hope you will, too.
And as a silver lining, maybe the weird internet we end up creating as a result will suck less than the current one.
@benroyce wow I hate so many things about the way they’ve phrased that.
1. Age appropriate according to whom? What are you, my mom?
2. Just give us this data real quick, it’ll be so easy. Don’t think about it too much, definitely do it without thinking please. Also we’re holding your account hostage
3. It’s private, trust us.™️
i get those emails too

@Bobblegagger @benroyce @Haste It's past time for an Andor-level, modern adaptation of Zelazny's My Name is Legion.
"Just before the system goes live, the hero expresses concerns about the possible misuse of such power to his superior, who gives him a chance to destroy his personal data before it is entered into the system. In taking this step, the hero becomes non-existent as far as the system is concerned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_Legion_(short_story_collection)
