Fact-Checker @politifact derides KOSA age-verification concerns as “False” because “there are other ways [beyond demanding ID] to assess users’ ages, such as self-reporting & face scanning tools, some of which are already in use”

@alecmuffett It seems then that they said "Yes, it absolutely does", then quibbled about the definition of "age verification", and said, "Therefore, it does not". Then, they wonder why people think they're political stooges, when they seem to be trying to split hairs to come to a particular conclusion. They're also wrong. You could easily see arguments being made in court that "Company X isn't doing a good enough job." You don't even need to be a legal scholar to see that.
Even the way they do things doesn't seem that effective, they seem to hyper-focus on trying to debunk specific claims, rather than trying to debunk, say, QAnon as a cultural phenomena...
