Pluralistic: “Privacy preserving age verification” is bullshit (14 Aug 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

"…even when it comes to kids, "#ageverification" is just a way of convincing young people to familiarize themselves with #VPNs. This was entirely obvious from the very instant that "age verification" was mooted, and yet our policymakers pretended they couldn't hear the chorus of people who pointed it out to them. When cornered on the issue, they were affronted: "Can't you see that something must be done? How dare you attempt to stop me from doing something?"
And now, every single one of these chucklefucks is proposing bans on VPNs…"

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.

Being asked for #ageverification / ID-verfication online feels like being asked to take off all my clothes at the dentist's. You're making me uncomfortable, and I think I'll just go somewhere else

PSA: The UK has a national consultation on "online safety" and the Online Safety Act.

It's a chance to say "Deal with the problem (social media companies), don't censor and control the users!"

Growing up in the online world: a national consultation

We are consulting on further measures to prepare children for the future in an age of rapid technological change. This includes potential age restrictions on social media and other services such as gaming sites and AI chatbots, restrictions on addictive design features and risky functionalities, and better support for parents and families.
