Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

It's always such a red flag in news articles when they mention vague "experts" but don't explain who they are. The Guardian is so bad for it, even though they're the most tolerable of the mainstream British options. A lot of the age verification stuff was a vague "experts say this will help" but if you dig deeper the experts end up being someone who's went from working as an MP to being appointed to some directorship of a charity, and not someone with technical skills that could explain the cybersecurity issues, easy circumventing via VPN etc.
