We all know “proof of age” or “age verification” is synonymous with mass surveilance

Is it? I was under the impression that websites would use private identity verification companies like iDenfy to perform age verification. The identity verification company would need to use a government API to verify the person’s existence and age, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the identity verification company is reporting to the government which people have initiated age verification, or for which websites.

This is a great start, but this one is showing its age, and could use an update.

At the risk of sounding like an out of touch janny, what’s a janny?

It’s possible to hate a country and also be forced to capitulate to it (or die trying to resist, if you don’t have a family that you care about).
