    Yeah. This is a massive step in that direction.

    The infrastructure is already in place for KYC financial operations. I had some fuckass site try to get me to use a biometric ID middleware service just to get some crypto so I could cop drugs and that ID middleware was one of the 20 or so platforms that participated in the age verification tech trial for this social media shit.

    Someone on reddit posted a screenshot from bluesky which was requiring them to confirm their identity with either: gov dox, credit card info or biometric face scan. So I suppose at least on some social platforms the “insert verification genitals to continue” crap is already implemented.
