Reminds me of enforcing the identification of all internet users for the sake of "protecting the children".

    Which actual criminals can circumvent, and takes away anonymity from children, which is by far the best protection for them. So yeah, if you want to protect children, this is a serious step back.

    You can still identify children online. A/S/L never fails

    Reminds me of the Omegle zombie survival game:

    1. You have six shotgun shells.
    2. Connect to a random person.
    3. If they ask "ASL", they're a Zombie. If you have a shotgun shell left, you shoot them and use up one shell. If not, they bite you and you die.
    4. Ask "What is OP?". If they give the correct answer, they're a fellow survivor, and both of you refill your shotgun shells.
