Yes, of course I read the article before I posted it. The answers are not contained within. Think deeper, friend:

It requires basically any digital services provider that collects an email at sign-up to conduct age verification to identify all minors, verify parents or guardians connected to all minors identified…

How? How will this actually be performed?

I’ve been a paying subscriber to Ars Technica for something like 15-ish years now. I read the article, and then read the comments on their website, where others there have the same concerns. Then I posted it here. I agree that it’s silly to ask questions that an article answers, but that’s not the case here.

I hope that here on Beehaw, we can work to build a community that has more grace than the ones we left behind, and assume the best intentions from others.
