How did we get to Age Verification?

Blender DumbassAge Verification is the new anti-terrorism. The trojan-horse of legal bullshit designed to strip the public from their rights, claiming it is for the greater good. But why this? Why now? I suppose I want to process the way I see it via a play. It will have very strange names, like Publicus ( that represents the public ).
Few Words of Hope
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/hope.jpg)
Blender DumbassWith today's seeming apocalypse it is easy to give up all hope, to feel hopeless. Age-Verification, Chat Control and other ( usually ageist ) attempts at attacking our freedom seem to be overwhelming at their might. And while it is true that they are terrible things and that they are bad for our freedom, still they are not the end of the world. There is still hope.

Beau Is Afraid is literally me

Troler. Ari Aster's psychoanalytical film Beau Is Afraid. The little 50 year old something boy named Beau is so utterly paranoid and lacking self worth, the entire world morphs into an extended torture scene. Since everything is told from the first point of view (POV), there is a lingering uncertainty of what is depicted real.
Breaking Down the New Stupid Ageist Californian Law that Requires Age Verification at OS account setup
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/trojan_horse.jpg)
Blender DumbassAssembly Bill No. 1043 of the State of California forces every operating system vendor to implement an age verification system on "account setup". I guess it's time to break the text of it down and rant a pissed-off rant about how stupid it is. Shall we?

Blender DumbassA rant about Age Verification and Chat control and Stuff.
Why Age Verification cannot work even for its intended use?

Blender DumbassShort answer People are stupid. But seriously, even though we have a lot of talk about why Age Verification laws are bad ( for human rights ) and how we can fight against them ( EFF just made a comprehensive guide on the issue ) nobody seems to realize the underlying logical fallacy, or multitudes of them, that even brought us to this point to begin with.
28 Years Later is secretly about the UK Age Verification bullshit

Blender DumbassToday UK is leading the way towards apocalypse when it comes to stupid, ageist child-safety bullshit. And the 2025 Danny Boyle's film 28 Years Later is secretly about that motherfucking thing.
EFF Is Not Opposing Age Verification Hard Enough
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/eff_not_enough.png)
Blender DumbassI shall complain a little bit on a stance from EFF and how I think they should be pushing harder. Not so long ago Australia decided to ban any platform where users can upload things, to anybody who is younger than 16 years. This is an ageist, paternalistic atrocity and has to be fought with viciousness. Yet EFF seem to only understand the secondary problems with this law.
