we need to go back to the tried and true method of a calendar field to prove age. i know that kept me out of all the dirty sites back when i was born in 1979 through 84.
Blame to all who made such stupid software and then called it “age check”
It’s not age check. It’s 1984-style government invasion of privacy.
What year were you born on January 1st?
1970
The beginning of time…
Oh it was a long time ago, but not so long ago that it’s suspicious.

I asked chatgpt and they don’t know either.
It’s simply impossible to tell.

Well, obviously an adult, but I admit I’m a little unsure about which one. Hope that helps.
We want your children to be safer online so we forced them to self-identify with biometric data? Isn’t that part of what caused this in the first place?
Privacy, security, and regulation is the answer here, not more surveillance capitalism. But that’s anathema to the business models of every social media company so instead we get this ham-fisted attempt at jamming the square peg of “digital advertising surveillance” into the round hole of “protecting children”. The mechanical action damages everything involved.
This system is specifically and very effectively designed to monitor, analyze, addict, and sell people, and this “solution” just ends up being more engineering to that end. Asking it to selectively age-gate content is like inventing a global network for information transfer and then becoming outraged when it’s used for file sharing. Copy is an intrinsic operation of digital data, and exploitation is an intrinsic operation of social media. We’re asking it to do the opposite of what it’s created to do.
Parents should be charge of filtering content for their children, and the government should be in charge of using the collective power of the people to regulate companies that exploit them instead of serving them. Asking social media companies to do it is backing the wolf truck up to the chicken coop while the guy hired to protect the chickens tells you “The wolves will protect the chickens from other predators!”
No, all the danger to children comes from satanic pedophiles cold-messaging strangers from trailer parks in hell. Billionaires can always be trusted with sensitive data and photos of children. Parents also notoriously never do anything bad to their children.

I heard three kids where able to use a trenchcoat to bypass it!

I went to the stock market today and did a business
I wonder how the business industry is going these days?
Good, good – teach the children that authority is bullshit. This kind of thing is more effective than book learnin’.
Is it legal to “verify” my age to be a minor? Would less of my information be collected?
…not that any of it is accurate anyway.
The Internet views censorship as a fault and will re-route around it.
Its almost like AI couldnt think for itself.
As I understand it, most adult content producers aren’t actually interested in having minors using their sites. It seems like the easiest thing to do would be to have them add some “Adult Material” flag in their metadata, and let consumers respond as they wish to that tag - whether that’s done through browser settings, router nannyware, or whatever.
Is there a technical reason this isn’t what’s being pushed for? I’m sure there’s lobbying and “optics” reasons for not doing this, but is there any practical reason for not pursuing this, or something like it?
We already have multiple solutions for blocking children from websites that parents don’t want them to access and the companies providing those situations maintain their own databases of different types of content tagged so that parents can have some control over what is blocked and what is not. This stuff has existed since the 90s it’s nothing new. It requires parents taking the initiative though and really when we get down to it this is another, "but think of the children, " sort of situation where they are using child safety as cover for making it easier to collect biometric data of people online.
The hell are you talking about? Yes there are blocklists for adult domains, but that doesn’t actually block adult content since it leaves stuff like YouTube open. If you think there isn’t full on sex on there then you’ll be surprised.
The only thing that functions right now is whitelisting and it is super annoying since so many apps open a web container inside the app. All this id verification is nonsense, but providing an actually filtered internet is still nigh impossible for parents who aren’t tech savvy.
Pretty easy solution to that, don’t let your kid have access to youtube without observing what they are watching. If a parent isn’t willing to learn how to setup parental controls and/or web filtering and take the time to observe what their child is consuming then it shouldn’t be shoved onto the government and made a problem for everyone else.
