the question you should be asking yourself is not “what's the best way to verify the age of every single computer user on earth”

but rather “why the fuck are we trying to verify the age of every single computer user on earth????”

and the answer to that is: fascism
stop. complying.

@nileane also this is the first step to get most users on board. After that, we're increasing the intensity slowly. Until it is live online verification via state-issued ID tied to whatever you want to do at the time every time.

@claudius @nileane Unless you are accessing the darknet over Tor/Freenet/whatever or mesh networking without even the telecoms much less the corporate servers invited.

No system locked to age verification will ever be allowed into my life except as a test subject to learn how to crack it and force access.

@LukefromDC @nileane I hope you are fighting for this *hard* right now, because once legislation is in place, this fight will become almost impossible.

@claudius @nileane It is not impossible until they find a way to kill every darknet host globally, kill all of Tor globally, round up and destroy every pre-ban/unlocked computer, and by doing so shut down even mesh networking.

Then they find they also have to find a way to ban flash drives and camera cards, and after that, pen and paper and in-person conversations in places like canoes with no electrical system.

Right now everything peer to peer without a server is outside the reach of age verification regardless of the law. Making something illegal makes it risker, it does NOT make it impossible.

Otherwise there would be no drug use other than alcohol and tobacco, and nobody would have sex unless they were married and had never been divorced.

I've been defying unjust laws all my life, this won't be any different...

@LukefromDC @nileane Yeah, that's just fine. You want privacy only for yourself.

I would much rather prefer privacy for everyone.

Dude, seriously, what the fuck? I get that you're smart. You can defy anything. Very cool indeed. I would much rather not have that kind of society in the first place.
