For the folks in the back row:

Age Verification is about Kids and Censorship: to track them and censor them

Age Verification is about Kids: giving it to companies who will keep it as safe as they've kept your identity, email, and other information.

Age Verification is about Kids and Censorship: taking control from you and giving it to corporations and government.

Age Verification is about Kids and Censorship: to keep them on their platforms so they can profit from them

Age Verification isn't just about Kids: it's also about tracking you

I don't know why we want to put children's data online. I don't want cameras in the kids rooms to verify their face, that camera will be used by others. That camera will be used to do the very thing they claim it is to protect against. I don't want the kids online, easily meeting with pedos, pretending to be kids or otherwise. I don't want kids data online for those people to use it to harm them. I don't want kid's data being leaked and exposed forever. To create lasting damage that will follow then the rest of their lives.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The devil uses this to fool you. Seriously, y'all gonna trust your kids' data with the people in the Epstein list? Why would you let a fox guard the chicken coop?

Hear, hear! I'll add another:

"Age Verification is about suppressing the 'undesirable' for kids, but also for you". I.e. having to share your personal identity for that taboo (but legal and harmless) sex site (or whatever someone in power might not approve of) sure is going to make you think twice and may even kill many smaller instances withojt making them illegal outright.

It may not sound bad in a single example, but eventually there is something you like that is fine but gets added to the list.
