    Politicians: That’s the point.

    Joking aside, now that I think about it, what difference does does it make if companies are stealing infos and spying on you with government mandated age verification checks, and hackers stealing your government mandated age verification info? This just reinforces my view that governments (and companies) are nothing but glorified gangsters.

      Option 3: companies that you pay to provide authentication service. Regulated so that they clearly tell you if they are subsidizing service outside of your payments.

      We nearly already do this with certificate services and they would probably be in a good position to offer an id service.

        Then you just need to hack this company instead of Discord, you only change target.
