Anonymity is a myth. I am sure by now an LLM can figure out who you are and where you live by your HN posts alone.

It seems like the solution is to provide an age verification mechanism with robust privacy protections. That way when we offer a solution that works for all of their states concerns, if they disagree with the privacy preserving approach we force them to say outright "I want to keep a record of every website you visit."
