    So the only arguments against the ban come down to how to perform the age verification and not issues with the ban itself. That makes sense. Maybe we could institute some kind of one time passcode where it’s like an MFA for age. Like picture your passport can generate a hash (unidirectional) that just contains like month and year of birth and is verified via PGP with the passport issuing body as the cert authority. So the only actual information you are sending is a hashed and cryptographically verified month and year of birth. That should probably make everyone happy.

      elmicha only mentions this one arguments but parents will have more. Some parents claim that this will isolate their kids and since social media is good at radicalizing children fascist parents will see this as simply censorship, cutting their kids for valuable, fascist content.
