today I created a burner google account. these days google requires an Android phone in order to even create an account so I used an old phone to scan the QR code ( I am pretty sure this lets google grab all of the metadata of the mobile phone ). after about 1 hour creating the account. google’s automated system disabled the account however I appealed and got the account back. before someone asks I need google because of where I live.

this made me wonder what if google mandates age verification? if there were age verification google would immediately notice that I am creating another account ( burner account ) which it won’t like. burner account won’t be created in the first place!

we already have too much surveillance and this makes it worse. my mobile number is already tied to my read government identity. I DO NOT want my online account to be tied to my read identify too! it is sad, it really is

    You keep speaking in extremes and absolutes

    YOU are the one that immediately jumped to porn, shithead. You DON’T get to decide on talking about extremes and absolutes.

      I didn’t jump to it. It’s the primary reason for age verification.

      Calling it “information” to avoid talking about it is intellectually disingenuous.
