Social age verification requirements in the US are going to become a problem in the #fediverse, particularly for larger instances.
It is the mainreason we shut down new signups on Newsie last month.
Now the team at https://HoneytreeTech.com is starting work on a module that uses https://stripe.com/identity to handle age and ID verifications.
The challenge is it's not free ($1.50 per validation).
So maybe this is the start of a super-premium instance offering.
Maybe not a bad thing.
