If not have someone in authority please put this post in the correct forum.\n\nI just got a rude awakening this morning after viewing some videos on YouTube. After reviewing a longboard surfing video, I went to another video below and got a surprise as a prompt popped up before the start of the video with a message stating I must sign in to view the video to make sure I was not a \"bot\".\n\nI am sure this this is more to do with \"age verification\" which is going on to safeguard children. But I also have a sneaking suspicion this is YouTube's another new way to \"acquire\" more of your own personal data and to force you into not using an adblocker so you have no choice but to view their irrelevant ads.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjWYUzoQkQ4\n\nIs anyone else getting this?\n\n* * *",
