A blogpost from Mullvad about age verification
Yeah because that’s what kills the internet.
Not ads everywhere, invasive data collection, AI slop flooding any and all search results, fascist propaganda at every corner…
No really, the internet was amazing before that!
Seriously though, the internet was already long dead, and if you know how to find the few places that are not too rotten, then you’ll manage to avoid age verification as well. There is a lot of concerns to have for the state of the internet, but this is a small problem compared to things that are already there, and already make the whole web unbearable and unusable. LLMs are a much bigger problem for example.
This is a larger problem than ads and LLMs. It is a new level of invasive data connection and kills anonymity on any site that goes along with it. This is really bad even considering how things have been.
Im sorry but this blogpost is regurgitated by AI. They could at least make the effort of writing themselves.
What makes it seem that way? Doesn’t read like AI to me, not a lot of vague fluff, consists of salient points and claims backed by links to relevant sources.
The long dashes, the “Its not X; Its Y” type of ending, it is definitely rewritten by AI from a human text.
