I see age verification discourse has developed new branches.

It's 2026. If you don't lead with "it's another assault on everyone's privacy pushed by the owners of the Internet and authoritarian governments" you're lying by omission and covering for technofascists.

And it's goddamn Pride Month. If you don't talk about the harm to minors in abusive families cut off from online support communities, you're spitting on our fucking faces. But you do that year-round so where's the surprise.

Do better. Or shut the fuck up.
