However you look at it age verification is a major change to the internet and our freedoms.

We’ve seen all kinds of legislation pushed through in the past, often even against major resistance.

What makes me suspicious this time is the speed at which some of the slowest bureaucracies in the world are adopting it and how it’s happening in 20+ countries in parallel.

It’s like they’re all in a group chat, fast-tracking this before resistance can even form.
