@CapitalB well, it might fly in Europe, both EU and non EU states, definitely in China and such, but something tells me they'll have a real hard time selling it to the US. The NSA is not about to give up its ultimate say on who can and who can't use the interwebz and spying possibilities, so there's that.

What is all this?
What are they trying to do?
I thought they just wanted to count the rings on your asshole so Facebook knows you're a boomer - and now we're getting to internet connections and all that?

I mean, doesn't an internet connection kind of imply you're >18 because if not, how are you paying for it?

@cjd @bonifartius @ThatCrazyDude

No,.bc parents can pay for a SIM, there are thousands of open wifi, there are shared connections etc.
You see. The fucking millenial normie parents refuse to police their breed their breed. Why? I dont know. They all fell into the trap of."this time it is different". While WE had unrestricted, uncensored and uncommercial www/Internet, THEY want to prohibit their offspring that.
Meanwhile the fedi, private AI, sneakernet, Bluetooth and stupid parents+teachers.

Okay, but wasn't this going to be able preventing you from getting internet unless you install their dumb app?

It kind of sounds like they've already lost.
Oh kay... but what if you don't install it?
How are they enforcing this?

If they're taking away the internet connection, I mean, the person who bought the internet connection is obviously >18 so that's just pointless and dumb. Where is the chokepoint that they're going to block off for people without their app?

If the CF "verifying your browser" splash page starts to require logging in, I'll view a whole lot less websites I guess...

This is kind of the same thing as when YT started to ban ad blockers. I went and touched grass, it was nice.
