Probably it will not be all "internet" but some parts of it. Since I already live without many invasive services it shouldnt be big challenge for me. Obviously Facebook and Google already asks for ID everyone, so any changes at all. Probably its better do not exist on the internet than exist on castrated, polished, theocratic internet
You have to have an id to make a Google or Facebook account? That's wild.
At that moment you could create account on Google without sending your ID but they could restrict your account for "age verification" and ask for ID.
Wild stuff.
Next December, it will be required in Australia
The Internet is a bunch of Autonomous Systems running open protocols like BGP. Packets have no passports.
UTP: "have a nice trip. DGAF if you actually arrive tho".
Torrent more
Someone said I2P or TOR can be ran through port 80 but I doubt that.
withdraw
There's a million porn sites hosted in third world countries that don't give a fuck about any of this
Start selling a service to businesses providing Age verification for dirt cheap and implement it in a way that can’t be secured and that issues single use tokens. (The keys get routinely leaked to privacy advocates) so businesses can claim they are completely complying with the law while saving money and the people who care about privacy can easily get around it basically everywhere
Use only services that don't require ID and laugh at the people who do and say I told you so.
Edit: I see myself more and more turning to the tor network and hidden services for daily usage.
Wait for the internet to fracture. There could end up being multiple internets... you could argue it is already that way to some degree.
You think that curl and pirate bay will start asking for ID ? I don't think so.
Stop
It would be funny if someone changed his name to someting like Jack Blow Job and upload id and started leaving comments on the whole "family friendly" Internet under this name 😂
What I'm already doing: use a VPN
The internet already asks for ID for everything. Cloudflare or phone verification, or an account from a service that requires one of those two. As much as possible, I don't use things on the internet.
