Digital IDs are fine.
For an extremely small handful of scenarios where an actual ID is required, like banking.
It absolutely should be a violation of federal law, with massive, extremely punitive consequences, to use it for age verification for adult content, let alone social media or other websites.
I for one would be fine with a digital ID to be used for even age verification, so long as it is only used for verification and is completely detached from any other form of identification. Honestly I’m getting kinda sick of rumors of Russian and Chinese trolls, true or not, as well as AI commenters influencing genuine discourse.
And harassment and cheating in online games…
Lots of things suffer due to ban evasion. If bans worked, the internet would be a very different place.
