More "age verification" requiring IDs, which inevitably get stolen. Stop electing people that don't understand technology.
Even as a kid 15-20 years ago, I knew to change my DNS or use a VPN. Does that need to become the new norm?

It's not popularized now and they're waiting for the next biggest data breach for their kid's information to be stolen and used by people online or for pedophiles to find information on their children.

Philippines society is generally a trainwreck. The literacy rate for this year's graduates was historically low.
