What's next is that they are going to guilt you in to accepting it because it's "to save kids from pedophiles and if you don't fork over your ID, you're either helping pedophiles or you are a pedophile yourself."

And it's going to work. You're going to go along with it.

Reddit implemented this for brits months ago and there has been no mass exodus. They all forked over their IDs to save the kids. They're probably all stuck on Discord too assuming everyone who's leaving is a pedophile. Once KOSA and EARN IT pass here in the US, we also will go along with it, to stop the pedophiles.
