    Any further expansion of online age verification is bad, even when it targets annoying assholes nobody likes this time.

    Also, age verification for adult websites is bad because they’re just going to ban minors from accessing important sexual health education information and track people who look up unapproved content. Oh you want to learn about your gender identity? Sorry kiddo, you aren’t allowed to learn about that. Oh you watch gay porn? Scan your ID so we can put you on a list.

    Does an internet real-name system not present all these same problems?
