    No, but the fact that they’re doing it already means we don’t need to ID-gate content.

    If your car was made in the past few years

    It wasn’t.

    So don’t try to say the government has our best interests in mind and the tech companies will play nice.

    I didn’t say that at all. Not sure why you feel the need to make things up.

      You’re right, we don’t need to ID-gate anything, but that doesn’t mean we should trust the companies’ implementation. Just look at what’s happening with Discord.

      If you’re supporting actual legislation for banning teens from social media at this point, and you think tech companies aren’t selling off age verification data to surveillance capitalists, then yeah, that’s what you’re saying.

      BTW, I really hope your car lasts as long as possible, and/or you don’t have to get another one anytime soon. Car manufacturers are tracking literally everything you do, because they also “care about safety.”
