Apple UK Age Verification Chaos (reclaimthenet.org)

I just assume this is not related to age at all and rather an excuse to identify people. Is the real reason for tracking, greed , preparation for a world war or some of all of the above? Intention is the part I think gets lot more difficult to tease apart. It was clearly never about protecting small children as the technical solution for that is trivial [1] and non invasive for adults.

One more reason to use FOSS and hardware that's as open as possible.
