If America was a serious country they would break up Amazon for this AND arrest Bezos and send him to a random Supermax for corporate blackmail, mass fraud, and unfair competition. But I fear they never were.

Messaging your reps actually works, though. If enough people flood the lines, the information will be passed to the rep and they don't usually feel good about it. It can actually change their voting - if you look on Bluesky you'll see various campaigns of line flooding that HAVE yielded results.
Your post is extremely suspicious because it feels like you're actively trying to undermine and depress the voter into not doing something effective for some nefarious reason. No one without ulterior motives has ever tried to say calling or messaging your reps does nothing.
Ah, so a suburban white woman who would probably call the police on a black man jogging in front of her house?
Here's a report by Malwarebytes about it. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2026/02/age-verification-vendor-persona-left-frontend-exposed
Did you not read the Twitter thread? The facial verification is done by OpenAI and shared with Palantir, the DOJ, and ICE. Yes, including Roblox's. What makes you think the DOJ would NOT try to build a profile on someone going through age verification who's brown enough to be considered an "illegal" and possibly detain or deport them if they criticize ICE?
Because those parents are pushing for age verification stuff, that has already been confirmed by hackers to be sent straight to the DOJ and ICE to make a database and link people's internet profiles to their real names. With possibly the intention to either arrest people for criticizing ICE, or deporting people they DEEM to be illegals.
It's not a fallacy, you fucking idiot, IT IS LITERAL FUCKING REALITY. They got fucking CAUGHT RED HANDED by a bunch of hackers using OpenAI to give the IDs from Discord to ICE, to either silence critics or kidnap more people.
Get your head out of the damn sand. You're not helping. Every single attempt to age check is the government simply trying to tie your online identity to your real identity to punish you eventually, and this administration does not give a rat's ass about the constitution. At some point they WILL attempt to arrest or deport people for online speech.
EDIT: Malwarebytes just reported on this. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2026/02/age-verification-vendor-persona-left-frontend-exposed
That could work but I dunno if Roblox would even want to put on the effort (given that they banned a man exposing pedophiles in the platform), and also having moderators means they ARE a point of failure since there could be a groomer amongst them who just happens to not have criminal records. However, trying to childproof the internet in response to things like this is beyond stupid.
Seat belts are different because if someone is in a car is not wearing one and carrying passengers, that person will become a 200 pound pinball in case of a crash and crush everyone else to death. Do YOU want to sign away your ability to criticize Trump and ICE because some dipshit parent didn't do what they're supposed to fucking do and got their kid groomed?
You're not allowed to take someone else's rights because someone else is a fucking irresponsible idiot. That's not how this works.
I'm being hyperbolic, but I do think every CEO of every company in America worth hundreds of billions should be arrested, have their companies broken up, and said CEOs sent to Supermax prisons for mass fraud.
