• The Age Verification Trap, Verifying age undermines everyone's data protection

  Email is the digital equivalent of a postcard.

  This is mainly a question for the American members of this subreddit, but I think it can apply to the rest of us as well. In the US, and in many other countries, the tv media landscape is largely dominated by a small minority of corporations.
