Just put the age verification in the browser already.
Then introduce some new headers the browser sends to servers with some proof that the user was verified and the browser would need a response (like CORS) for it to work.
USB anal probe can be integrated the same way.
Exactly! Websites should be able to tell apart lgbtqa+ people by probing their anus for traces of cum lol /Sarcasm

Or we could have UBI and parents could parent their kids without corporations babysitting for them.
UBI isn’t enough — they will just raise prices.
We need social programs like social housing, universal healthcare, free education, and universal food stamps. We need to actually use the abundance of resources we have to meet our fundamental needs (shocker I know).
Wouldn't corporations still declare war on parents over their kids?
Parents would have a better chance at fighting back. Both with the time gained to communicate their disapproval, and a better relationship with their kids to be more likely to disapprove of it.
What you describe, but at the OS level, is already the law in California. We got angry about it a few months ago when it passed, do you remember?
Note that California AB1043 isn't actually age verification; rather it just requires the OS to ask for your age, not check it.
Yes. And that's awesome. Assurance is provided by the fact that only the device owner can set the user's age. If you buy your own just select over 18. If someone else buys it for you, they can select your age or choose to fake it and you need their password to change it.
Crucially, no privacy is violated, but children are still protected. This not only protects children but also disarms any argument that we need to protect the children. It's great actually.
My sense is that many jurisdictions do not consider this sufficient, as they want to prevent parents from allowing their children to access restricted material (as happens fairly frequently). However, I guess we'll see.
Wrong. Try again.
