The law doesn’t mandate that I have a username or that my username gets reported to those requesting it.

This law can be expanded to require other things, like verification, or collection of legal names. What’s to say that reporting a false age to a service isn’t some kind of criminal fraud? There’s a thousand things wrong with it.

But you do have a username and it is reported to apps.

Uh, the law?

  • Did you know that giving false information to a service in order to bypass security measures (such as age gating) can be considered a violation of the CFAA?

    That’s a felony by the way.
