We all know “proof of age” or “age verification” is synonymous with mass surveilance, but the words “proof of age” were cleverly choosen so the average person considers it the same as showíng another person a driver’s license. Unecessary or otherwise it’s only a minor inconvenience. And there is no harm to privacy.
So what should we call “proof of age” or “age verification” which is just as punchy, but communicatee the real intent? How can we subvert this attack on our rights by turning these twisted words against themselves?

Is it? I was under the impression that websites would use private identity verification companies like iDenfy to perform age verification. The identity verification company would need to use a government API to verify the person’s existence and age, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the identity verification company is reporting to the government which people have initiated age verification, or for which websites.
Humans abusing other humans. A tale as old as time itself.
