    Don’t believe for a second that this is about children.

    Imagine the policies of someone who actually cared about children’s wellbeing? Those policies would not look like bans or restrictions for the children.

      Google and Microsoft have to be dragged kicking and squealing into proper policy that actually damages their business models.

      They have been completely silent on these age verification checks, in Aus this is being implemented by an un-elected government official whose career was largely working for Microsoft for the past 20 years.

      This is all about data mining.
