  What did anyone expect? I think this is literally the central purpose of this: to make sure the population is less well-informed so they can be ruled more easily.

  I really used to think self-declared western liberal democracies were better than this. I don’t anymore.

  What now?

  With free software, I can just modify my client to tell any backend that I’m over 18 or over 21 or whatever the highest age bracket is. The backend is, as I understand, supposed to then take that claim at face value and deliver to me the version that is intended for adults.

  There are many problems with the entire thing, but this one in particular is a non-issue.
