    Why is this on Uplifting News? This is dangerous… age verification exists on many sites for a reason. 😵‍💫

      I have yet to see a site that age verification is necessary.

      Okay, like what? Give me an example of why scanning your face or giving them your ID is helpful for “safety.”

      Yes, and that reason is intrusive tracking. In no way do these bills keep children any safer. It doesn’t even aim to try to do that.
