The idea that one should be forced to verify one's age or identity to use one's own computer absolutely baffles me.

The fact that it is happening is what is baffling me.

@neil There is exactly one person who gets to decide what happens in my computer. Me.
If you want to run things in my world, you play by my rules and only my rules.
Wait Shit. Am I'm turning in to a conservative, I want things to remain how they were twenty years ago... Is this is what they meant about getting more conservative when you get older?
@emily_s No, Conservatives want things to remain the same because they control them, change threatens that control. You want to control any changes you make, that is different.

I might not get what I want.

@aadeacon But I do currently control my computer, and I want to retain that control... I do not want someone else to take away the control I already have over my things

@zer0unplanned A practical suggestion, thanks!

> I believe a distinction is necessary between using a computer as a personal tool and using it as a means of communication
I don't!

@lydiaconwell Well thank goodness for that!

> Age verification has nothing to do with "using one's own computer", it's about running the software on a [your] computer
