    Ok Elon is a dick but I’ve also yet to see a single age verification plan that isn’t just ‘give every social media company a picture of your ID so they can put it in a poorly secured database that gets hacked 3 times a week’

      Agreed they don’t seem to get used, but they exist. My state has a digital ID now that can verify age (bracket), and a picture with date. That’s not bad - less than ideal for a website that doesn’t need my picture, but perfect for a bar (clearly the intent).

      It could so easily be done if that was the actual intent.
