Not just being inflammatory, but most people who have a "if the government says they need to protect the children, I'm happy to give up a bunch of rights and privacy" reaction tend to be in the "ok with authoritarianism" group.

Also, we are up in arms about the introduction of government tracking is 1) it's not JUST government tracking, the age restricted sites will also get your PII and 2) most people get concerned when governments start getting involved in things regarded as private, like sex, porn, etc. 3) What will require verification is unclear "age restricted content" is pretty open.

Yeah, I have to agree those all sound pretty terrible consequences.

Think I'm getting why people are so concerned about this, and why it's about more than age verification.

I think there are a bunch of people who would be ok with some kind of independent verification that was at least pseudo anonymous.
