    There’s so many reasons trying to force companies to implement age verification is a bad idea, and “to protect the children” is a nonsense excuse. That said, it’s kinda scary if a government can’t regulate business behaviour when interacting with their citizens (who are inside the country).

      Why is that scary, it’s done all the time.

      It’s probably a good idea not to have corporations just run rampant and do what they want

      The alternative, where a government can restrict the actions of companies in other jurisdictions is more scary.
