KOSA is coming (sh.itjust.works)

I'm just here to say KOSA is coming and I've decided that this will be the hill I die on. I'm not scanning biometrics or uploading my id. I don't give a single shit what I get locked out of. I know this is not strictly google related but very likely many people will be pissed when they find out they need to age verify just to use a Google account. I'd like to here other people's plans for mitigation.

yes it is. and they lobbied for this to happen in the entire world while we barely tried to stop it.

i don't know what's coming for society next, but it's not good at all. this will be a qualitative jump, silicon valley & friends WILL be using their outsized influence over the internet to their advantage at the expense of everyone else, almost literally. saying it's 1984 went out of fashion but it's slowly but surely becoming reality.

make no mistake, they are coming after the people who try to opt out too and looking around it seems everyone else that cares is just as lost as i am on what do we do now.
