No shit. Doesn’t mean it still isn’t extremely useful and revolutionary.

“AI” is a tool to be used, nothing more.

They're coming for our VPNs soon enough, be sure of that. Here in Australia they've already flagged wanting to ban them.

I've read it, it's just more conspiracy theories.

What happens if someone is illegitimately removed from this database? How can you show whether it was a glitch, or deliberate? How do you know if the information they have about you is even right, or get it changed if you need to? Where’s the accountability?

Database logs and procedural logs is how you know.

If you move state etc you would update your details with the government, just like you already should be doing.

A national database that the trump admin controls

But if/when the Democrats win it will be under their "control".

Deport criminal aliens? I’m all for it, but most of the deportees have no criminal record or they accuse them of crimes as if it’s the same thing as a conviction.

Illegal immigration is a crime.

Also outside the US, and the "problem" is that people - pretty much exclusively democrat voters - want illegal immigrants to be able to vote, or at least don't want their illegal votes to not be counted, because they overwhelmingly vote Democrat since the Democrats are the ones importing them and giving them freebies.

The goal is to suppress non-white voting by invalidating citizenships for people MAGA considers “foreigners”.

No, the goal is to stop illegal immigrants crossing the border into america, giving birth, and then never leaving because their kid is a US citizen.

Citizenship is already required to vote in state and federal elections.

Then you should have no problem with this because it won't stop anyone who is allowed to vote from voting, will it? :)

Everyone who votes absolutely should be checked to see if they are allowed to vote by citizenship. The only reason to disagree with this would be if you want non-citizens to vote in elections that they're not supposed to.

The government already has access to what sites you visit btw. They already know if you’re a big booty fan or a gagging kinda guy. They’ve got their fingers in every ISP

I think that a few independent secure age verification services will pop up soon enough. Wouldn’t surprise me if the parent company of pornhub or one of those sites makes it themselves. There’s huge money to be made in it.

Hell I might start asking around with my lawyer friends to see what would be required. Could knock it out in a weekend. The hardest part would be finding the consequences/legal issues of verifying based on fake documents.

And yes countries like the US, UK, and Australia are all fast approaching a digital id that will be used to access the internet. Australia will be the first. We’re basically the testing ground for authoritarian tracking and control laws, and our population are too dumb as a whole to understand what is going on. We’re already getting a Digital ID system soon, and our banks are going cashless. Currently whenever you try to take cash out of more than a few hundred bucks you get a free game of 20 questions and they will refuse to give you your own money if they don’t like your answers.

Just go sign up for any of the activist organisations that advertise it:

Did you really think that the protests that are 90% pensioners holding all the same print signs and chanting the same thing, often reading from their printouts they were given, were organic?

The things people are protesting against now are pathetically trivial compared to the things those people protested, that’s why.

They’re more just a bunch of people don’t like something, or are against something that they think is happening when it actually isn’t (or is at least a 50/50 issue).

There’s also the fact that most of the protesters these days are just virtue signallers, or are rent-a-protest paid protesters who couldn’t care less.

Would be incredibly easy to make secure, as it wouldn’t even need to store the verification documents or anything personally identifiable once your account is set up.

I think if the government is actually serious about doing this they will need to do it, or outsource it to someone who will. I don’t actually think these laws will take effect in December.

This could even be done incredibly easily via myGov for example. It has everyone’s information including DOB. I could build an age verification API for that in a night with time for a good snooze.

Do you agree that it is possible without all of the porn sites getting your information now at least?

I’d love to hear from the 3 downvotes on why they downvoted me here lol. Do they think that pornhub does have age verification and restricts those who haven’t verified their age?

YouTube absolutely has age restricted content, what are you talking about?

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2802167?hl=en

Age-restricted content

Sometimes content doesn't violate our Community Guidelines, but it may be incompatible with YouTube's Terms of Service or not appropriate for viewers under 18. In these cases, we may place an age-restriction on the video. This policy applies to videos, video descriptions, custom thumbnails, live streams, and any other YouTube product or feature.

Did you really not know this was a thing? I can’t even listen to half of the music I like on YouTube without being signed in because of age restrictions lol.

You think I’m authoritarian? You could not be more incorrect if you tried lol. I think parents should be more responsible for the content their kids consume and what they do - but I also believe that age restrictions on content should exist to prevent access when even the best of parents can’t be there to stop it. I’m one of the few people on Lemmy who actually argues FOR free speech and less censorship lol

There’s no point. Someone that posts what you did isn’t going to listen and admit they were wrong, so I’m not being drawn into a shouting match :)

The difference isn’t significant in this situation. You’re acting like HDDs are floppy disks lol. Their random IO is not “pretty terrible”.

By verifying with a central age verification system.

What has been thrown around, and what should hopefully be the solution, is that a government agency (as a last resort) or a independent trusted authority makes a system where you create an account and verify your age with your documents with them. Then they have public APIs for sites to hit - you give the site a unique key (preferably you would generate individual keys that are tied to your account for every site) and all that site does is hit that API going “Is the person that this key belongs to 18+?”, and the response is yes or no.

Simple, secure, private. The site you’re accessing doesn’t know who you are and doesn’t get your details. The age verification site also doesn’t necessarily know the site you were using, and this should not be logged either.

It doesn’t exist, but that is what some are suggesting and hoping is going to be made with these laws being passed. It would be a really good thing for the internet and websites/apps as a whole tbh if a system like this is made, and it’s not like it would be difficult.

The sites wouldnt need your information, they would just verify that the person attempting to access the site is authenticated as being 18+.

Again - there’s no significant real world difference between an SSD and a HDD in the scenario I’m describing. Neither drive types are the limiting factor in speed of the operation. You act like HDDs take a long time to seek data lol.

I can pretty much guarantee you I’ve got more experience with data and drives than you do. Theoretical speeds and performance are just that - theoretical. The only way you ever get close to them are transferring a single huge file.

Your last little pot shot is ironic and hilarious.
