How Age Verification Will Ruin Your Internet

Age verification mandates will usher a new age of authoritarianism the likes of which has never before been possible. Support my sponsor-free, independent work:   / thehatedone   En masse Internet ID verification is hurling towards us with the speed and force of a planet killing asteroid. The impact will annihilate the open web as we know it and mandate an absolute authoritarian state where not only are you always under surveillance – but you’ll always have to seek permission to access an ever expanding list of forbidden media. The “I have nothing to hide” crowd is telling you “don’t look up!”, “there is nothing to see here”, “this is all for your safety and the good of the children”. So when we say: “no, this is a problem, this is authoritarian”, it’s us who are framed as the bad guys for wanting to protect our privacy and freedom of information. Under the guise of protecting children, “the nothing to hide”-ers will now make it so that anytime you want to read a book, listen to a song, watch a movie or play a video game, they will create a permanent record of who accessed exactly what and when for an indefinite amount of time in databases outside of your control. They’ll tell you that’s not what this is for, but they also used to tell us mass surveillance was only to fight terrorism and nothing else. Oh, how the goalpost has moved in only two decades.
