MODERATORS
The age verification is a blatant lie. It was always about ID verification and tracking.
Marketing companies want to ID bots and collect real marketing data to sell for advertising. Governments want to track citizens and isolate any dissidents and nonconformists as well as track spending and therefore collect more tax revenue.
