The part I'm most opposed to is requiring a full KYC, using "verifying age" as an excuse. My Gmail account has been active for >18 years, that should be enough proof.
Fight together with everyone else, or when stage 2 (“full KYC”) is implemented you won’t have any leverage.
Yes, Google also wants to tie back to legal identities to sell ads. I’m not saying they’re doing this in good faith, but proxies like this get messy and dangerous for legal/compliance.
Typo? But it's hard to tell what.
(Prophetably? ;-)
