    Yea my point was if people stopped using the apps then the big players will lobby the governemt to revert shit like that. But i also think that long term all big players would love to normalize taking your picture to open their app. Every bit of information they can sell is a win for them.

      Ah I see, misunderstood your point then.

      I guess that’s also why Google is going to use some kind of AI to determine whether or not a profile is underage. That way, existing adult users of their services are (most likely) not affected.

      In my opinion, draconian government overreach in matters of civil liberties is one of the few instances where we should be on the side of big tech companies.
