Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

The cost of living in this world is simply resources paid into the arms race.

For me, I focus on what I want out of my tech services. Learn to build and learn to maintain. There will be ways to mask, spoof and anonymize.

And for sure, although it won't be today, there will be legislators who move against this trend. This is, and always has been, a matter of legislation. Separation from church and state is now separation of tech and state.

    Also I know we all reasonably hate cryptocurrencies but you will for sure be able to use Monero to buy prepaid phones even after it's illegal, seeing as you can use it to buy illegal guns and drugs now lol

    So if it's just illegal from the seller's perspective and not illegal to possess, it'd be a pretty easy law to circumvent.

    Still, that won't help the domestic abuse victims and all other people who need burners and aren't tech savvy.
