The threat of age verification is becoming increasingly real. More and more states are seeking to introduce identity checks through the back door under the guise of age control, ostensibly for the protection of children. And an increasing number of providers, as well as open-source projects, are implementing this—partly in preemptive obedience—or are at least laying the groundwork for it.So far, the Fediverse remains a safe haven, an island of bliss. But what if the state seeks to control the age of users here as well? Unfortunately, the Fediverse is not immune to such attacks, because instances are operated by people who, in the worst-case scenario, could face legal penalties.Would like to hear your thoughts on this.#ageverification #privacy #freedom
