Following global pushes for age assurance by governments, Persona is increasingly being used by major online platforms to carry out biometric age checks.
Even if op’s case was satirical, it is quite ageist honestly. It is the difference between freedom and submission. Such outdated statements about increasing the common age is just a fascist disguise - minors which includes teens have less and less rights just because the belief that children shall be protected by bans is acceptable.
If people cared about “the children” they wouldn’t let them on the Internet until they were 21.
If people cared about humanity they wouldn’t allow “the algorithms” to exist or let social media or news media exist they way it does now.
People 18 and over are adults. I know the US somehow forbids adults from drinking but I don’t think more countries should dilute people’s rights.

I faintly recall there were then a few people who criticized Gore’s idea of opening up the Internet to the public.
Yeah, that’s only for the people that think they care, but are actually ageist and discriminate.
Protecting children comes in hand with protecting humanity. The sole existence of predatory algorithms, and other shit makes age meaningless.
Yeah, we should also ban anyone under 25 from voting too! Brain isn’t fully developed! Reeeee!
And anyone over 50, brain is barely functional after 30 years of propaganda.
