@joho would like to hear a reason to worry about this that does not imply that one might be a child predator.

Does it worry you that almost every non-billion-dollar website, including this one, will be shut down?

Age verification is expensive. Extremely so. It hands a monopoly on all speech and communication to the very same social media giants that everyone is angry at, by making all alternatives illegal.

I don't know about you, but to say this worries me would be a monumental understatement. I am terrified.

And before you retort “what about zero-knowledge proof”, that hands a monopoly on all speech and communication to the big two smartphone manufacturers, by making all alternatives, including GrapheneOS, Linux phones, and desktop PCs, unusable.
