Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for privacy. But between setting up the birthdate when creating my children’s local account on their computers, and having to send a copy of their ID to every platform under the sun, I’d easily chose the former.
I’d even agree to a simple protocol (HTTP X-Over-18 / X-Over-21 headers?) to that.
exactly. so why do we need more laws that also happen to provide massive leak able tracking to corporations and govs without warrants, etc?
I’m not sure what you mean by “massive leak able tracking” in this case. It’s literally a flag that indicates the user’s age bracket, and means sites don’t use the really invassive options.
setting that flag involves the leakable process.
