I’m asking because I just had to verify my age thanks to YouTube requiring me to watch a video that was age restricted.
you just did your part to normalize it.
Don’t be so desperate to watch a video to pay with personal information to this degree.
I am sure there’s exceptions, but refusal should be the norm. At least on YouTube and other non-essential services.
Bullshit. It’s not age verification. It’s identification of you.
They want it to be but what you’re seeing is just a tame version that’s been around for a while on porn sites and mature rated games. What scares people what bothers me is required identification. Having to share real personal data to “confirm” who you are.
We should all be fighting this …
Sadly, the new norm. I had to age-verify myself just to use Claude the other day.
You don’t have to use it.
