I don't VPN everything, but I certainly do a lot of it, so I guess I'm a mass murderer. That on top of other anti-tracking measures, so at least if they are going to get me it will be some work. I'm sure the government could do it, but let's be honest if they want me they will get me.

If they really cared about age verification, they'd develop some sort of fully open source way to use some sort of anonymous token that is age-checked once just to join the system and then forgets who you are and uses anonymous tokens for all future access. It would totally be do-able if the crypto type minds went at it. They don't want to. They want to track you so you can be punished for wrongthink.
