you need to re-read everything i wrote because you clearly did not understand it when i twice said that i don't want id verification. you're not arguing with me, you're arguing with someone else in your head

    you are not going to win over people rightly concerned about their kids by telling them it’s actually simple when it isn’t. you’re going to drive them away.

    This is you saying you want this.

    There's one thing I agree with, it's not about protecting kids from boobs. It's about completely eliminating anonymity from the Internet, while acquiring a massive database of personal information, easily tied to websites you visit, and easily leakable by hackers.

    yes. does that say "we need age verification"? it says we need to acknowledge legitimate issues if we're to have any hope at consensus.

    age verification is not the answer, it's just the only one being proffered.. you want to make this go away? find a better answer to the problem and espouse that.

    here's a small one: no use of internet connected laptops for school work since that is widespread and directly undermines a parent's ability to keep tabs on their kids.

    the answer is not "you're just a prude afraid of boobs, loser." that's how you drive people to the right wing, because at least those guys are saying "the internet is dangerous for kids." and that's how you end up in the funnel.

    eta: sorry about the insult if you saw it. it had no place here
