Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

That the developers chose to add it at the same time as all the age verification stuff was starting is too much of a coincidence. It shows that some developers in important roles will go along with age verification. The systemd thing can be argued the way that it has been but it's the beginning of the slippery slope

It'd be weird if they added it before the laws were passed, but not that strange to implement it afterwards, but before the deadline.
