Lets not, please.

Normalization like this could absolutely invite overreach / abuse. The immediately/obvious one is now sites have a "this is/is-not a minor" data point to correlate with the user activity that they'll sell off to some advertiser/broker.

I don't recall where I heard it, but the quote was essentially "the perception of surveillance is itself restrictive."
