    Have you heard about ‘age verification’ to ‘protect the children’? You too will be age verified. They will know all your accounts. That’s the whole point of age verification. It is to eliminate anonymity.

      Every app that asks for my face I either don’t sign up or turn on the VPN.

      Although the airport takes a face scan now so maybe it’s a moot point

      I am well aware of the bullshit that the politicians are using abused kids to push through.

        Yes, only if you actually use it. But the question was: How will they prove that I have any social media history? the premise being that one can deny the existence of any history while actually using social media. Age verification will make this increasingly difficult and risky. If you use social media and deny it and they can prove you lied about using it, there will be consequences.
