@charlesdelavalleepoussin @openrightsgroup @JamesBaker I wonder if Palantir has been lobbying for all these age verification laws? It would explain why such similar laws are all showing up at once, and why they “just happen” to be the vendor of choice to provide “necessary” age verification services.
