    Yeah I was curious how the age gate would be reliably executed as well. Another tangent off my original comment taught me about their electronic ID thing, which is neat.

    But similar to blocking, not sure how useful it’ll be when people can spoof locations so easily. Not sure ph could do the x hamster trick when it gets so much value from its mainstream, well-known url, but basically technological fixes for this are really hard.

    Fwiw I’m glad it’s hard. Whatever our respective feelings on the subject matter at hand, a free and open internet is important.
