Data storage and data access aren't the same. Some places I'm happy to have the access to my data. Other places I don't want to have my data. The problem is people already have it, but maybe we can make a push for a new set of legal laws to force companies to step down on this bullshit.

This isn’t so strong on the coding part, but touch in some degree on this regard. The focus is on the data storage and access of data. I hope you like this post.

All feedback is welcome.

    I’m not concerned with some random employee looking at an ID card for a few seconds. I don’t trust any proposed online system to do the same. Any government requiring companies use an age system is just asking to dox yourself.

      There is no reason that it can’t be done properly though, if it’s done properly it’s not necessarily a bad thing. You can set it up so the company only gets the info they need and the government doesn’t know who is requesting.

        It’s very bad for me thanks - I either give up increasing more online communication services or risk punishment for circumventing this bull manure.

        If you’re a big company you can afford to do it “properly” (whatever the technologically illiterate goverment chooses). It’s undue burden on any tiny selfhosting personal use or fresh starting competition. Your age is information I don’t want to store - I don’t want to store anything about you I don’t need.
