Age verification is not en never was about protecting children. It's about mass surveillance.
"Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years."
Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web
Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Bei der Altersüberprüfung geht es nicht um den Schutz von Kindern und ging es auch *nie* darum. Es geht um Massenüberwachung.
„Sobald ein Nutzer seine Identität mit #Persona überprüft hat,
führt die Software 269 verschiedene Überprüfungen durch und durchsucht das Internet und Regierungsquellen nach möglichen......Übereinstimmungen, beispielsweise indem sie Ihr Gesicht mit politisch exponierten Personen (PEPs) abgleicht
und für jede Person Risiko- und Ähnlichkeitswerte generiert. IP-Adressen, Browser-Fingerabdrücke, Geräte-Fingerabdrücke, staatliche ID-Nummern, Telefonnummern, Namen, Gesichter und sogar Selfie-Hintergründe werden analysiert und bis zu drei Jahre lang gespeichert.“

@PensioNien I wish they were this efficient when i'm trying to get a visa, instead of a years long "comprehensive security screening".
