Yeah but then you have to actually take the time to log in.

Maybe it’s a regional thing, they wanted some way to verify that I was really 18+. And Google requires a phone number if you want to create a new account, but I did make a couple more before this was a thing.

They actually sent me an email one time that basically said: “We’ve changed some settings for you since yoi don’t look 18+”

Yeah, it’s definitely a good idea to make absolutely sure they have your confirmed identity, just to watch some YouTube videos. Some people actually care about privacy.

Documents? I’ve never submitted any documents to login to any website before. Just give it a fake name with a made up birth date .

Unfortunately Google requires a phone number, which is linked to my person verified by documents. So it’s not really private or anonymous. If you run a normal Android Google knows who you are anyway.

Btw, how did that get pushed simultanously in all those countries? Isn’t anonymous communication a basic right? Did UKUSA pull some strings after the twin towers?

You can create an account on an Android phone that has no SIM or other accounts on it without being required to provide a phone number. Use an old wiped phone just for this.

I gave them my documents with everything except the age blocked out with a black bar. I then digitally altered the birthdate to not be my real one. It worked.
