      I get it: but that’s a minority opinion unfortunately.

      Proof of personhood will be a major requirement in the future. Age verification will only be part of the combat against llm chat bots and malicious actors.

      If the government is going to do it eventually we might as well weigh in on the right way to do it. As private and easy as possible.

        Or we could just emphatically say no. Do you think governments exist in a vacuum? They exist to serve the peoples interests, not the other way around.

          Of course they don’t.

          But you have to contend with the fact that the overwhelming majority of people are apathetic or in favor of these kind of measures.

          The morality police of the Christian right are campaigning for this. Many moderates don’t care.

          If it’s coming, and it is, we should be sure to be part of a solution that makes it at least somewhat private.
