If you can feel a very small tinge of existential horror when you read the words "try to", congratulations, you're a true *nix devotee.

If legislators get grumpy about this, just gently thwap them with your handy copy of The Unix Haters Handbook and tell them you're working as hard as you can under the circumstances.

Age verification is just paving way for things a lot worse: globally unique identification.

They ( politicians ) will weaponize the inefficiencies in this implementation to push for an online verification later on.

And of course Peter Thiel will be somewhere in the middle

    Your dissent has been noted for later enforcement action, Citizen 1d887190-bfe4-4a22-ae6d-4b519a9c5483.

    Ipv6 identifies an exit node, not individuals. Same as ipv4. The ipv6 doesn't bind to an individual. Your address is different in different places. There can be many individuals per address. You can use vpns as well.
