We all should push back against OS-level age verification laws. So far, there is absolutely no proof that they are needed or even efficient. In fact, most tech-based age verification systems seem to either fail or collect copious amounts of data.

Undermining workers' safety and autonomy is a direct and indirect consequence of age verification, which serves as a tool of marginalization. As the political scientist Samantha Majic of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice explained, "[We need to] make sure people can work safely and with dignity, whether they are working on OnlyFans or in a factory." Dr. Majic isn't wrong. Age verification laws claim to protect the public, but in practice, they reshape the conditions of the digital labor necessary for tens of thousands of adult creators to earn a living. The result is fewer safe, regulated spaces for online sex work and more political power concentrated in the hands of platforms and, most importantly, conservative regulators and lawmakers. For the workers caught in this crossfire, the financial and labor costs are mounting. It is social control of the highest order, and as these laws spread, sex workers will be targeted.

Active social media use in the UK has fallen sharply, according to media watchdog Ofcom, with people posting less often and becoming more cautious over how they approach online content. Ofcom research published on Thursday showed the number of people who think the benefits of being online outweigh the risks had also dropped — to 59 per cent, down from 72 per cent last year — with many feeling they spend too long on devices.
