Someone seems upset that I criticized this guy (I suppose it's just a rando tone policing, but you know what, I'll comment on him). So, I'm gonna do it again. I have several issues with this guy.

1) He wades onto news sites to offer up his hot takes, despite having little apparent understanding of the subject. He also doesn't appear to learn. He usually presents himself as possessing some sort of expertise but his points are extremely elementary and otherwise relies on insinuation.

2) He implicitly conflates issues that are fundamentally different from each other (and one doesn't seem to be an issue?). For instance, "age verification" for viewing adult content is not going to stop criminals approaching someone one-on-one to trick them. This is less pronounced in this particular article. He still can't help throwing it in.

3) Even among those cases, it appears the criminals have been convicted.

4) We've seen him before. He is very "this site is bad" *talks about some other unrelated phenomena*

He doesn't seem to be particularly honest or direct about what it is that he wants "age verification" of adult content to accomplish.

He just keeps talking about unrelated things in a spooky tone.
