That applies to all laws, not just all "invasive age verification laws".

You may be a libertarian, I basically was when I was a teen, but since then I've seen how people act and how this makes everyone miserable.

I am not. I don't label myself, but if I were forced to slap a label on myself it would be something like an anarcho communist. It's not that I don't believe in regulations helping, is that I feel like this is plastering over a deeper issue, which is parents having children, but not having enough economic security to have the time and resources to devout to their parenting properly and so turning to the state for oppressive restrictions in favor of good parenting.

It's the reasons teens spend time on these apps that should be looked at by the state, not how to block them from doing so in other words.

I like this post about how having a box to type an age into is unreasonable since we haven’t tried simply doing… global communism?

I like this post setting up a straw man when I am not talking about a box to type age into (existed since the 90s) but about you needing to photo ID to access your OS/your OS preventing you from doing this unless you photo ID.

I'm also not sure where you get any kind of global communism from but then I am not sure you know what that even means.
