Age verification laws are less about protecting minors and more about creating comprehensive surveillance infrastructure that threatens everyone's digital privacy. They are often marketed with the stereotypical “think of the children” argument to goad people into believing that there aren’t any ulterior motives to their request. In this episode, we look at exactly why age verification laws for websites are a bad idea and are just asking for large-scale cybersecurity incidents and highly sensitive data leaks to happen. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.
