Age verification proposals are often presented as a simple tradeoff: sacrifice a little privacy to better safeguard children online. But that framing overlooks a more fundamental question. What happens to people who cannot verify their age at all? This is particularly a problem when users are required to prove their age with identity documents.

That’s the fun part - they don’t! There are no special 1s nor 0s

Yea, it was what was being discussed. Your assertion is that it's impossible for the ruling class to have an exception. You seem to think a technical limitation exists where none does.

You're factually incorrect, and show neither an understanding of how networking/websites function, or understanding of how the ultra wealthy and the politicians they buy have a very long history of giving themselves loopholes so the rules don't apply to them.
