    Age verification is not mandatory. Unless you want to browse NSFW content. You can ignore age verification and keep browsing adult content somewhere else.

    I believe many would not verify themselves, groups that do adult content would lose majority of user base. So they would move somewhere else where I assume their user base would follow.

      you are really naive if you think nsfw/adult content is just porn

      As 4chan showed in the past, user bases go to platforms that allow NSFW content, and take their SFW activity with them.

      But that didn’t answer my question. What problem does age verification genuinely solve by taking away my (adult) privacy?

      PS: Expect a lot of LGBT+ content to also get flagged, as it’s considered inappropriate in certain authoritarian countries with money. Having to send in personal ID to join a minority community is just one step away from wearing pink triangles.
