In this episode, we discuss the surge of age verification laws spreading across the US, including the recent implementation in Ohio. These laws intend to shield children but come at a significant cost to privacy and cybersecurity. We'll explore how third-party ID verification companies operate, the risks associated with these systems, and the broader definition of adult content beyond pornography. We also question the effectiveness and security of these measures as we share insights into the ease of bypassing verification systems. Are we protecting kids, or building a privacy nightmare?
