The Internet post age verification

You’re right. My question is 100% speculative, ik that there are countries where these laws may not have an impact or won’t even be passed for now, hence why I said ‘if’ and not just when. I was just brainstorming and thinking ahead to understand what resources exist in case this age verification push gets out of hand. And how some sensitive groups will need to adapt, like whistleblowers, activists, etc. I feel that the path to censorship and control will lead to innovation. People who want to find a way around these limitations will always find one. In my mind I kinda grouped chat control, age verification, etc. as an attack on open source, encryption, and privacy on the internet. Maybe it won’t be as bad as we see in some other countries. I’m honestly just finding ways to be optimistic in a reverse way, expecting the worst, so I won’t be disappointed with what reality brings.
