Surely it’s the death of anonymity for those who want to access stuff which would be age restricted in any other scenario (like a real shop). The rest of the population (most?) don’t care to access that stuff & don’t want it and can carry on being anonymous.

And yes that gives the likes of Facebook et al a problem because they’ll have to categorise their content, but the whole point of this current fad for governments to legislate to restrict stuff is that the big tech companies could have (made efforts to) fix it but chose not to because it’s (waves hands and wails) hard.

Unless you want to use Matter which (from my glancing at the docs) requires IPv6?

I drive through a new area near our home everyday (in UK). Some of the manhole covers make a loud “clonk” noise when I drive over them. I avoid them because it will otherwise annoy our new neighbours. I used to live off a main road into town. There was a loose manhole cover there which drove me crazy until I managed to get the council to fix it. Probably just had stones in it making it loose.
