If you allow the government to break the law for an "Emergency" they will create "Emergencies" to break the law.

Meta and those pushing for the Meta-backed App Store Accountability Act oppose POPA because it then Meta will have to share in the cost and compliance burdens...and Meta does not want that! Again, they want you to think this is all about protecting children and empowering

"Just opt out." The opt-out requires: — finding it (buried) — understanding it (legal) — repeating it (it resets) — doing it for 4,000 data brokers individually Opting out is a full-time job designed to never get done.

The most perverse thing about ID verification is the chilling effect & forcing the most principled of us offline. We've seen this with exclusion of segments who are inconvenient for the prevailing consensus. They will think we are gone as they have toddler level object constancy.
