Welcome back to another video! Lawmakers tried to “fix” the internet by forcing websites to check your ID at the digital door, and somehow their brilliant plan immediately created an entire underground economy of VPNs, fake IDs, sketchy verification tools, and privacy workarounds. Instead of making the internet safer, age verification just gave random third-party companies a reason to collect driver’s licenses, face scans, biometric data, browsing habits, just SO MUCH MORE. The funniest part is that the people these laws were supposed to stop are usually the first ones bypassing them. 👀👀👀 This is what happens when politicians try to regulate the internet. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:45 - The Unprecedented VPN Explosion 3:36 - The Shady Market of Age verification startups 5:21 - The Golden Age of AI-Generated IDs 7:13 - Policy Backfire 8:47 - Outro 📚 some stuff with interesting information: https://cybernews.com/security/age-verification-laws-drive-surge-in-bypass-discussions-and-vpn-downloads/ https://www.eff.org/ - do i need to say more? 🎙 my gear (amazon associate): ► Microphone - https://amzn.to/4rKPtcE ► Mouse - https://amzn.to/4ubkQyJ ► Keyboard - https://amzn.to/4rP41rE ► Earbuds - https://amzn.to/4u9ARoX ► Main Monitor - https://amzn.to/4aQsqr1 ► Mousepad - https://amzn.to/40bl5w0 ► XLR Interface - https://amzn.to/4aRwVSc alt-titles: age verification created its own black market. age verification is already being bypassed. the internet's age verification trap is already failing.
