Yeeeeah, nope. Seriously, all the ways of age verification suck 'cause age verification itself sucks.
- It’s unmaintainable for both websites and browsers (there’ll always be sites that say “fuck it”, and there’ll always be people to remove those checks from the browsers);
- It gives personal info to the entities that have no business handling it;
- [For sites] that would not leak the info: would you like an unsalted md5 with that?
What’s the alternative? To not fucking verify the age. I’m really confused how even normies aren’t tired of that “protecting the kids” bullshit. Oh, they’re worried? How about trying to be a better fucking parent so that their kids don’t hesitate to talk to them about stuff or at least setting up parental control software.
I mean, I’m not saying PayPal and apps needing whatever play store check are shit, but… Oh, wait, I am saying they’re shit 😝
Anyways, let’s try again. Yeah, librem kinda sucks, but mostly in terms of hardware, availability, and their situation with not delivering on time and not returning the money.
