    In anddition to the tracking use, this also works to verify if the account being used to verify is adult or not.

      I guarantee you, this is not the use case.

        Either way, it’s a bad thing

            My initial thought wasn’t communicated in the first post; people may not link the tracking to the age verification or vice versa.

            This does feel like an a/b test to slowly introduce an entirely different level of tracking and privacy invasion.

              Ah. You’re right. Not everyone is/was aware of this taking place before this post, and its implications.
