Oh come on. You know exactly where this is going. Porn and social media will require age verification before you can say "who voted for this?".

You know you're making a fallacious slippery slope argument here. Age verification is already a thing on the Internet, and South Korea and Texas already require age verification for those things. Providing a proof of concept for a way to do age verification without handing over your identity doesn't change public policy. The voters decide what needs age verification.

If you're concerned about totalitarianism, you should be more concerned that Texas required people to upload their IDs to access porn sites because that was the only method available.
