yeah people dogpile a lot. One person disagrees, very often with a snarky strawman and gets upvoted and people take that as a cue that it’s what they are supposed to think, instead of actually thinking for themselves (but they’re totes above groupthink)

I support it as well. In my country we already have ID verification that goes through banks. I can log into my healthcare system etc. by it.

Just branch out a service to social media sites that answers only one question: Is this person over 18? Yes/No.

They don’t need anything else. By extension, this also answers the question if someone is a real person. Which is another thing I think we need on social media. Yes, maintain public anonymity but there needs to be some verification that they are a real person.

(Also, Spokeo got nothing on me, wohoo)

I don’t mean harm but this reminds me of the political compass and centrists who just want to grill. Like, if this is your most controversial opinion lol

What, and give up purity testing? That would eliminate 90% of our recreational outrage and give us time and energy to actually do something. Can’t have that.
