Reddit hires company to verify user age with selfie or photo of government ID.
This is more the Government pandering to the worst group of bastards - parents.
Nah, I’m a parent and don’t buy into this “think of the children” bullshit. Only the most gullible think that it’s a legitimate reason. It’s always been about govt surveillance.
I just teach my kids to not be total morons online, and clamp down on their internet activities myself. You know, like a parent should be doing.
Government allows children to be raped by church, regime removed and nepo baby owner class…
But they now expect the peasants to believe them on this 🤡
“For your safety…”
“For the children” is simple subterfuge.
