> Privacy activists think age verification is not a problem that needs to be solved.

Correct. But more importantly, privacy activists understand that the "problem" governments are trying to solve with "age" verification is people having privacy.

This isn't something we can solve with purely technological solutions. It requires political action to defeat the attempted control, and pushing back on every instance of people trying to paint that attempted control as mere "age verification" and other "think of the children" takes.
