Age verification is not a "good idea" for anyone.
It doesn't stop youngsters from accessing ' illegal" sites, they will find a way around it, but what these laws do accomplish is:
- Everyone, including you, will have to upload their official ID on the internet, thus exposing all *your* personal information to hackers via data leaks.
*Your ID* can then be used to do all sorts of fraudulent activities, and *you* will be responsible for untangling the mess -- it will take years , plus you will be forced to pay out all legal fees, not the website or the government.
Additionally, because the government can monitor every keystroke from your computer or other device, you could be penalized for your opinion....not to mention I don't want to live in a dictatorship like North Korea, China, or Russia --censorship is terrible for democracy.
-kids will learn how to become 'hackers' in order to circumvent law so, I ask you how does this improve the life of children or yourself?
