The point is age verification is not for protecting the kids, and it doesn’t. It either makes kids easier to find or excludes them from learning tech in their free time so they don’t inderstand how computers work, taking tech control and ownership of em.
The government couldn’t give less of a fuck about them, except for actually fucking them. Same for this, it won’t protect anyone, it’ll just dynamically increase gas prices or some shit.
There have to be accepted levels of risk in the world or no one can do anything. No one should drive at all, nor fly planes, ride a boat at sea, or ride a horse. No one should run any heavy machinery etc etc. The list goes on and on. But just because someone else makes bad choices, does not mean all people need to sacrifice their rights.
It is when you live in a car-centric society with an abysmal lack of accessible public transit that necessities the ability to travel by way of a personal vehicle in order to survive.
Your excuse is just as pathetic as “if you don’t like the working conditions just get a better job”. Such simple-minded, ignorant bullshit.

It won’t. It’ll be used punitively.

Can you describe an example of detailed mass surveillance that has not been used against us?

If the cameras and tracking systems inside cars don’t stop them, why will this one?

And how do they know you’re drunk? Cameras? Mandatory blood samples?
That’s the thing from the article they linked to. NHTSA says the tech does not exist yet, hence why they are asking for an extension.
Demanding the specifics of what can be broadly understood is a waste of time.

Ah yes, everyone else must live in a different reality that does not hold your wild takes.

This is like saying that “age verification” is for protecting the kids

So you agree with everything else I said?

You live under a rock if you think this info will not be used against you.
