  • Hopefully sites will rather go dark in those states and areas then implement systems to store and retain “age verification” data, or more specifically identify data.

    Though I bet the more data a site can pull from you the more they can target you with ads for your specific demographic and other sites you visit.

    Age verification in my mind just means people that want to create website will now have large barriers to entry. If they want the site to be accessible they now first need to implement a age verification service.

    Where I see this going is a service will probably pop up that will allow site developers to stick a third party “age verification” platform infront of their site that acts like a gate keeper or bouncer.

    The only difference, this gate keeper or bouncer will be standing in front of a vast majority of sites on the internet.

    Imagine going to a street of clubs or bars and bumping into the same bouncer at the front door for each bar you walk into that night. The bouncer in this case builds a profile on you and sells that to marketing companies for the highest price.

    Sign in with Facebook will probably become more common now that I think of it. Visiting bestbuy? Sign in with Facebook. Visiting a adult website? Sign in with Facebook.
