every page and content access can then be tied to your unique id by government and service provider by excessive checks, no?

on the billion of tokens like 50 requests will uniquely identify you as well (by say, commercial map provider checking if they can show 18+ businesses to you, as an easy example) to commercial providers

feel like hardware locks on the phone level are more straightforward, home networks are parent responsibility (and give kids with desire to watch restricted content know-how about networks), libraries and public spaces are whatever, not a problem. But then again, this is all assuming there is an argument in good faith somewhere there.

as a neolib solution, just fine 1 dollar for every ad shown to a minor, real quick solution.

Technically yes, but Discord or BoobaXXX.com won't do that work. It's good enough. Especially if the number token is generated new for each query, which I admittedly forgor to write in my example.

but yes, you are right, there would be better solutions. People nerdier then I can come up with them and have. My point wasn't to give the perfect unassailable one, but to make clear that politicians and websites are transparently not caring one iota about citizen's privacy or safety, even as safety of children is bandied about as an explanation why this garbage needs to be added to everything.
