Honestly they're going to push for these age limits and I don't even specifically disagree with some websites being not for under X, but verifying with some company's website and sending them your info sounds awful. I'd much rather use my country's existing id verification and use that to verify my age with the EU's age thing and use that for the websites.

    Exactly! The EU digital wallet spec is perfect for this: It allows for granular info like “is this person older than X years”, which is exactly what we want here! Not what Meta wants, obviously, but fuck them.

    I dont understand why people are even considering staying on those platforms. What are you even doing? Cant live without them? How sad is that actually. And I mean that. It really is very sad that humans now think they need these platforms.
