> If you want to actually enforce age restrictions

I don't.

This "think of the kids" nonsense is a psyop to manufacture consent for this shit. People really need to stop falling for it.

Do you also oppose drivers licensing, alcohol age limits? Those rely on a trusted ID managed by a government.

Not exactly a fan of those either, but they're much easier to tolerate because so far they aren't implementing a surveillance state straight out of a cyberpunk dystopia just to prevent kids from driving or drinking.

It's not like the car refuses to start if a dad tries to teach his kid how to drive.

I have never been asked to show my ID ever in my entire life when buying alcohol.

The alcohol age limit equivalent would be to put the entire TPM + proprietary software infrastructure into the cash register, locking in a monopoly on what software can be used on cash registers. Not to mention, you now have to scan your ID, which then obviously gets recorded forever, allowing the government to track your alcohol consumption.

Yeah, I'm against that and I don't even drink alcohol, not even the alcohol I've bought myself as a gift to my parents.
