In anddition to the tracking use, this also works to verify if the account being used to verify is adult or not.
I guarantee you, this is not the use case.
Either way, it’s a bad thing
I agree completely
My initial thought wasn’t communicated in the first post; people may not link the tracking to the age verification or vice versa.
This does feel like an a/b test to slowly introduce an entirely different level of tracking and privacy invasion.
Ah. You're right. Not everyone is/was aware of this taking place before this post, and its implications.
