    It is in fact a government conspiracy to track you. Not necessarily to gather data on you, which can be purchased from brokers, but so that they can also control what you can access.

    There’s no mechanism that the government currently has that can track you as effectively as these age verification laws can.

      “There’s no mechanism that the government currently has that can track you as effectively as these age verification laws can.”

      I honestly can’t tell if you were serious or not.

      The governments just buy your data from Google. Do you have any idea how much information on you Google has?

        Buying profiling data from Google is not nearly as effective at tracking and controlling your online activity as integrating facial scans and government ID checks into every website or even directly into your operating system.

        Frankly a brand new account pushing the “The government is already tracking you, there’s nothing you can do about it, don’t worry about all the new ways they can track you, just give in” narrative is a little suspicious.

          Just to clear something up, my brand new account is only new because lemmings.world is closing and I had to migrate to a new server.
