The Internet post age verification

I haven’t seen much discussion on what the general consensus is if and when age verification passes globally with regards to the aftermath. More specifically what are everyone’s plans to deal with technology going forward? I’ve heard many say they’d quit the internet all together or stop using platforms that conform, however as well as that may worth for some, it isn’t realistic for others. I’m thinking in terms of the worst case scenario, OS’ require online verification via an API, using things that don’t are outlawed, devices are blocked at the ISP level, maybe even hardware level verification (although unrealistic now, with how absurd these proposed laws are, I could see it happening). What would be our options to navigate this landscape legally? I’ve been looking into I2P and Tor, and it got me thinking if those areas of the internet are the last resort for privacy conscious people like us, and are they resistant? How would places like this forum be affected? Do the law makers really understand the scope of the legislation they want to pass? Nearly every single Internet connected device runs some version of an operating system. Even if it’s literally just a check box for verifying the user’s age, conformity sets a precedent for the future. What they pass now could set the foundations for even more damage to digital privacy.
