Why are those things naturally "whats next"?

We allow bars and car companies to verify age before conducting business. Does that in itself lead to racial discrimination? I think not.

The issue is the scale and centralization of information. Let's imagine that every bar has to not only check the id of every customer but do it automatically: every time you enter a bar anywhere in the country you must have your id scanned by a government-issued system. Are you still ok with it?

That's why we need privacy preserving designs.

But saying “we must abandon the idea of age verification in bar” is never going to work in any democratic setting.

Voters genuinely want to protect the children, without second thoughts.

		Why do parental software / settings and filters not work? Aren't there even approaches based on whitelisting?
