"We’ve been saying this for years now, and we’re going to keep saying it until
the message finally sinks in: mandatory age verification creates massive,
centralized honeypots of sensitive biometric data that will inevitably be
breached. Every single time. And every single time it happens, the politicians
who mandated these systems and the companies that built them act
shocked—
shocked!—that collecting enormous databases of government IDs, facial
scans, and biometric data from millions of people turns out to be a security
nightmare.
Well, here we go again."
