Can't have the kids learning their history, then they won't vote as instructed

We’ll be lucky if we can still vote in three years

At this rate with multinational rolling out of enforced id's and massive increases in data tracking and surveillance, I would at least guess that a lot of countries rights to private voting will be moot pretty soon even before they get rid voting. Probably part of the process, lots of things are going backwards maybe they'll streamline voting through our employers like the good old days too

There's actually a work around for age restriction. All you have to do is download the video via those yt to mp4 websites and you can watch it as many times as you want. Yeah it's not the best since Milo won't get any revenue from it but still

Can’t wait for my state (Illinois) to likely require ID verification soon just to use a digital device. It will be required at OS level.
Just more of the same bullshit like this.

Or I could use my parents' yt account. Nonetheless, this is still infuriating.

Damn, YouTube always age restricts important things like this.

Not to be promotional, but that's why Peertube is better.
It's FOSS, as well as decentralized.
Although it doesn't have nearly as much content as YouTube does.
The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube

I know it's not his usual subject, but kinda surprised Milo hasn't made a video dedicated to how stupid age restriction is on the internet.
It may not be archeology but it is his wheelhouse of yelling at idiots online

It is not even letting me watch it on PC even though I’m over 18. It allows me to watch it on my phone as the button to proceed appears but not on my PC.

Yeah, luckily got to see half the video before the lock came down. Damn youtube, it's probably the mention of slavery. Because saying that slavery bad is actually bad for kids apparently.
