Age verification doesn't take away anyone's Rights.

Maybe we don't need it. Maybe we do. That's a different discussion.

@edwiebe @divVerent @Em0nM4stodonEm @daliasCassandrich It takes away all kinds of rights that you don't even realize you depend on

Like the right to live an unmonitored life

Maybe you *think* you don't have anything to hide.

Maybe you *think* you don't have anything that somebody with power over you wants

If you value anything in your life, you absolutely are relying on a right to privacy to protect it
