And you also have a nice database of peoples kinks for the future authoritarion government.
@jeena @Chickenstalker What are you talking about? Governments have never shifted into authoritarian structures.
They call them big brothers because they look out for you /s.
Yeah and now we just have our social security numbers (if many states have their way) and Driver licenses being a nice database. Like we need a national ID system (not for 18+ material, just in general) since our current system is utter garbage because it was never designed to be used as identification material. The SSN system was hijacked for tax reasons and many banks and institution followed suit.
To be clear, I don't have a solution for the problem itself, but both a central registry of 18+ content use and facial recognition are not the solutions we're looking for.
There is no problem here that needs to be solved. This does not solve any real problem and only creates more, even worse problems.
