In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.

That, or a photo of your ID, or some other “proof”. Depends on country too probably.

Honestly I don’t think there’s any relevant data google would gain from that that they don’t already have unless you’re very meticulous about not letting them have any, so I didn’t really care.

And you can almost certainly blame “think of the children” type of legislation for that more than google trying to collect more data. Which is also what causes the country variation, it might not be needed at all in some places.

in my country, i was asked for my ID card, credit card or maybe (i don’t remember this one) driver’s license.

i think it was the algorhythm those weeks randomly flagging videos as age-restricted, or my account as suspicious or something.
