Ah, Microsoft. The “let’s change things so we could say we did something” company. (Also, charge our customers more)

We are discussing age verification to access the internet. If you don't want your child to access specific content on the internet, the solution is to parent your child, not to have the state forcibly remove the security, civil liberties, anonymity, and privacy of every adult using the internet.
