Mandated ID checks are fine as long as we're using it to bludgeon the privileged in the process?
I ask because there was a similar moral outrage around age verification for access to porn sites that I recall being a big issue a while ago. I don't recall exactly how it played out in court, but it appeared to amount to nothing, which I can't help but to feel was due to the fact that mechanisms to verify someone's age online are either trivial to circumvent or present such a high barrier to entry that no reasonable user would surmount it.
But in all seriousness, age verification will soon be a legal reality. It's only "hard" because it's optional. When the government makes it required, they'll also have to make it possible - or those laws won't stand up in court. It'll probably require government issued digital IDs and MFA hardware.
No anonymity on social media sites. Not saying that's desirable - but it's the logical conclusion. You can run your own site anonymously.
> how do you do this in a framework that works globally
Lots of things work globally but are subject to local laws.
