Let me assure you, There's is 100% chance they are going to be people suing each other online for hurt feelings, once anonymity is gone. Arrests will be made base on hints of what is seriously or jokingly mentioned.I left Facebook 15 years ago when they asked for my ID, at that time I was using a moniker handle. I was shocked that a social network demanded my ID (someone wanted to attempt to sue me) because was saying a lot of unsavory political things to Bush-voters. I just never gave Facebook my ID, and they closed my account.
This experience repeated on twitter a few years later. Now I see Discord and Google are doing it.

@jwildeboer I predict that more than one implementation of age verification will allow the user to check a box to indicate that they live in a jurisdiction that does not require it.

@jwildeboer the absurdity of it is mind blowing. Does anyone who works on regulations have an idea how risky it is to give random social media vendors legitimate interest in processing IDs?
Those will leak, get hacked, and people's biometric will be available for purchase. One can change their password, but the face? -

Probably not, when geolocation is simple.

@jwildeboer The CEOs of the corporations pushing for age verification all over the planet have likely raped children.
They're also the ones who always push their own agenda as something that must be done 'for the children.' They've been doing that in the United States since Reagan.

@jwildeboer whenever someone says “won’t someone think of the children” I’ve learned to check where my wallet is because someone’s trying to rob me.

@jwildeboer rule of thumb: if corp or politics say theyll do it for the children, its always a lie. nobody cares about children

@jwildeboer and when I went to update my dTap shot in order to get that I had to divulge my gender and other intrusive invasive and totally worthless information that has nothing to do with my health and it's all in the name of surveillance and collecting data

@jwildeboer it's certainly an easier sale than convincing voters they should just auction off the driver's license database registry

@jwildeboer I've been calling it what it is, government idenity monitoring. That seems to resonate with a few people who are otherwise calloused from privacy erosion.

@jwildeboer Facebook trying to shift the data risk and regulatory burden onto rivals.
Lawmakers need to ask the question: what would somebody like Trump do with this regulation?
Wherever you live in the world, there’s a wannabe Trump eager to place his boot on your neck.

@jwildeboer it also helps platforms better verify human generated content, something valuable to AI companies right now.
