The outcomes were completely predictable. Teens were using sharpies and pictures of golden retrievers to defeat the age verification systems. Others utilized the more reliable VPN technology to defeat the censor walls. The technology became an absolute security and privacy nightmare following the Discord breach, the AgeGO scandal, and additional data leaks and breaches to boot.
