Read this article on a whim... And one question. Are opinion writers paid to be dense?... Half the article is spent rightly making fun of legislators on the absurdity of OS level age verification. But then the writer goes on to say "These kinds of laws don't work. They've never worked. Prohibition failed in the United States." Failed? Yes if you consider that it failed to ban alcohol in the states, but was a great success for introducing liquor licenses and other licensing bureaucracy. This is an opinion piece, the least the writer could do is read between the lines a little and see where this is going. Anyways, it's just frustrating when I read articles about X or Y law nowadays and they all conclude with "this will never work because..." and completely failing to imagine that law X is never supposed to work, its supposed to change culture. 📝 b4b4d9e1… Also no criticism twards inpc, I'm just quoting the note because it's easier.
