don't you have to age verify to get alcohol? We don't leave that up to the parents. Feels like you defeated your own argument with your examples.

The internet is not an object, its a communication medium. That is an apples to organges argument, it doesn't wash.

  • incorrect. Same principle at play, you want access to something, that thing is age restricted, the vendor of the thing wants you to provide proof of age.

    • > you want access to something

      Object.

      Internet, communication medium <- not a physical object.

      If it was a device that you were using to access that communication, then yes I would agree with you, but at that point they would have to age-gate the computer that gives you that access.

      This is clear as day and all you are doing ins proving yourself wrong.
