Meta, etc pushing this so that they don’t have to.

[–] tb_@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They want this because it entrenches them yet further. More of this kind of regulations makes it more difficult for newcomers to comply with everything.

Also I'm sure they'd love to be the one to hover up all of your data.

Man, if they don't have all my data by now, they're doing something wrong.

unrelated but I just want to say theres like 4 separate comments using the word "TrumpID" to describe this age verification, and i think this would be a great way to mock it just like how conservatives called the aca "ObamaCare"

[–] Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org 34 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Except it's more ZuckID, since Meta was behind the "grassroots" campaigns and wrote the script "representatives" are using globally.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 16 hours ago

well neither did Obama personally write the affordable care act, but here we are
