Stop Killing Drinking: No ID & No Age Verification for buying beer.

We (as a society) recognize narcotics, such as alcohol, as bad, so we ban the children from taking them. We don’t burden the parents, because we recognize that there’re parents who won’t care.

Predatory online platforms are the same. If you don’t want to verify your identity, don’t use them.

If you are forced to be verified (but age verification is not the same as age declaration) without using those services, then it’s a valid compliant.
