I'm sure this is a great video, seriously, not being a douche, but he talks very fast like it's sped up or something and makes it too uninteresting or unappealing to listen to. While I can appreciate not wasting time with a bunch of sponsor plugs or shameless ads, I just can't do it.
TL;DW he argues that age verification is bad branding and just invokes getting ID'd for alcohol which everyone is already used to and nobody cares about.
He says that instead, the new bill is building the infrastructure that could be used to deny people access to a PC based on whoever they are. It is putting responsibility for "age verification" on the Operating System, which creates the infrastructure to prevent whoever you want to prevent from having access to PCs whether they are connected online or not.
He says that needs some other branding because "age verification" doesn't mobilise people as most people see verifying ages as a good thing.
You see, that's by design though. It's meant to be insignificant so it flies under the radar of almost everybody.. And the few that oppose lol like the crazies wearing the tinfoil hats, etc.
It's partially why i believe all media is covering "the war" and not Epstein files, the upcoming draft, or anything else that's going to completely ruin so many other lives in this country.
Mark my words: "We're all sheep, walking orderly to the slaughter with tiny screens in our hands distracting us with our fake voices arguing online thinking we're making a difference."
