What creepy nonsense are companies up to when they try to guess your age or take your ID for age verification? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/so-youve-hit-age-gate-what-now

So, You’ve Hit an Age Gate. What Now?

EFF is against age gating and age verification mandates, and we hope we’ll win in getting existing ones overturned and new ones prevented. But mandates are already in effect, and every day many people are asked to verify their age across the web, despite prominent cases of sensitive data getting leaked in the process.
