California does keep adults safe from chemicals already - there's special Prop 65 labels you have to put on things in California if they contain chemicals.
Quick correction: everything contains chemicals.
It does sounds like that the author is not aware of existence of zero knowledge range proofs for identity based authetification (anonymous credentials). In essence they work as follows: a third party vouches a commitment for your birth year into a commitment with a signature. This then can be used for to be shown to a service provider along with a range proof to ensure that the age limit gets respected. That way serv…
How does that third party know my birth year? And the precision of one year is way too low.

This is not reasonable. That doesnt make him prejudiced. He just likes bananas and doesnt like natto. I dont want to see morbidly obese people naked either, its gross to me.
>That doesnt make him prejudiced It is literally the dictionary definition of prejudice. From Merriam-Webster[1]: >1. b (1) - an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge They directly said "two dudes kissing... feels wrong to me but when I try to come up with an explanation I have none." That is an "adverse opinion" they immediately admit to holding "without just grounds".…

correct that's why everything in california, including the air in parking garages, is labeled with P65
Pornhub publishes insights on their blog where they include an age/gender/country breakdown of their viewers. That data must come from somewhere, likely google analytics or something like it, which means that there is a thriving surveillance market whether there is age verification or not.
The surveillance is already happening, there isn't any need to backdoor it because it's already there.
People think google is a search company, but it's not. People think Facebook is a social media company, but it's not.
They are privatized intelligence companies, intelligence as in the I in CIA. And rather than that intelligence being used to, said charitably, make America a safer place, that intelligence is being leveraged to make rich people richer and less regulated.
Not enough of a spotlight is on privatized intelligence functions. It's no wonder it feels like corporations have more power than the government, they have access to mini privatized CIAs, with arguably much less oversight.
The Internet should be Unrated and thus Adults Only by default. Just like public spaces. (Would you allow an 8 year old to wander New York City unattended? Arguments can be made for more controlled spaces but...) Have a website and want the chance for kids to see it? Advertise in the headers that it's moderated and intended to be a given rating. Various indexers can pick that up. Complaints can be forward to relevant…
> The Internet should be Unrated and thus Adults Only by default. Just like public spaces. This is exactly the opposite of the way public spaces actually work, and the way that public spaces actually work is the very justification for laws like this in the first place! You've just taken their exact rationale and imagined a world that would lead that metaphor to the opposite conclusion. In most of the real-life US, yo…
Almost no discussion matters as long as Google Analytics/fonts is embedded in almost every website you visit. EFF is looking at individual grains of sand on a beach of surveillance.

Data brokers. But that data isn't exactly accurate. Relatively over the large population yes. Accurate for identifying indivdual users: no.
