    I mean, they’re required by the law in certain countries. With their size, there’s no way around that.

      which is pushed by the same companies that wanted it in the first place, Meta is one of the oens behind the push for age verification

        Yes, it’s no coincidence these laws started popping up globally since the trump administration entered office

      Spez allowed a subreddit for child pedofiles to defend their actions and advocate for no age limits for statutory rape or porn. It didnt get removed until the fat people hate banning created outrage. Pretty sure the laws about not fucking children didnt dictate how he ran his platform and theyve been around a tad bit longer than age verification laws. Just sayin, dont confuse investor appeasement with choosing to follow the law. Plus i wouldnt put it past them if i found out they lobbied to have these laws past so they font have to track every click and person underneath their front end. This just made it their front door.
