Age verification laws forcing platforms to restrict content access have been multiplying exponentially.
The problem is, implementing such measures necessarily requires identifying every user accessing the content, one way or another.
This is bad news for everyone.
If these regulations continue
to proliferate, this could lead to the end of pseudonymity online, and much worse.
I wrote this article last year,
but unfortunately this problem has only become worse, and it is sadly still very relevant.
