alt Hacker NewsHow come tax loopholes aren't as scrutinized?
Mandatory age verification online is a blight imho. It should be outlawed.

A tax "loophole" is just a deliberate policy you happen to disagree with.
What makes you think they aren't? The Double-Irish-Dutch-Sandwich in particular was cracked down on.
How can you define a tax loophole then? Since there isn't a thing you can do called a "Tax loophole", but rather a collection of otherwise totally legitimate practices, just used as an optimization, they are impossible to define, and as such, be scrutinized. It's a neverending whack-a-mole...
Why? Isn't your age verified when you renew your drivers license? Purchase something on Amazon?
When I was a kid, child programming and commercials were heavily scrutinized. Now any kid can access porn, violence, and scams on the internet. That's a blight. Not age verification.
I agree, age verification on the web should 100% banned.
Parents should learn how to be parents; the government shouldn't force companies to do parenting instead.
