@markwyner@mas.to This woman is not very bright. She has to think of it and going out and showing everyone her ID, telling who her friends are, what she reads, what she bought the previous month, and who she voted for, amongst other things.

@timagal@mastodon.social @markwyner@mas.to In her defense, she is very actively engaging in the discourse in the very long thread, willing to listen, and her profile says she works for the EU Commission social media, so maybe some of this actually does make it up to some people who make decisions one way or another.

@timagal@mastodon.social There's no need to be a dick about it, plenty of people honestly don't know the problem with age verification, or the details around why it's a problem. It's fair to ask, and it's fair to be asked. If we can't explain the problems in simple terms to ordinary people (or to policy makers and decision makers), then we're in trouble. @markwyner@mas.to
