How could the internet possibly be any more censored? What is the benefit of age verification? Back in the 90s & 00s we had infinite websites for anybody who could make them about anything they could imagine and now all we have is Facebook and Instagram and youtube. How could they possibly censor the internet anymore than it already is? In fact they don't even let us use the internet anymore, everything is a data-harvesting app now.
