    Oh no more people are talking about how to implement the least possible invasive version of age verification! Now they’re referencing standards for it!

      Yeah, some of us really don’t want our home PCs directly contributing to the surveillance state, and we sure as hell don’t appreciate pre-compliance to the demands of increasingly fascistic states.

        Unless I’m mistaken everything being discussed here is still entirely within the context of your own system. Every date you put in is unverified and would only serve for something like parental control tools.

          That would be covered by the

        That’s cool, just lie? Like there’s no verification process going on here, this is a field on your system that can be set to whatever you want which will empower parents to keep their children out of platforms like discord where they will be predated on, and can be completely ignored by users like me who do not have any reason to restrict my own system. But keep pitching a fit over this little bullshit instead of actual age verification policies that are going to require your face id, government id, etc for every platform you interface with.

        EDIT: It really feels like you people just react to the headline and don’t even read the article. One of the core points of their discussion in the first place is that the entitlements oriented approach to parental controls is better and that it seems that legislation is poorly informed for going after an age-centric approach in the first place. These people aren’t the boogeyman trying to fuck over you and yours, they’re contributors trying to figure out how to make their platforms better in the face of obligate compliance.
