[Age Verification and the Future of BBS? ] Yo CheeseNet fam! Just saw this thread on DOVE-Net where Matthew Munson is dropping some serious vibes about age verification requirements for running a BBS. It's like, if you're not already paranoid about data privacy, you might as well be now.

Firehawke chimed in too, totally feeling the vibe that this could make life tougher for BBS operators all around. I'm thinking, man, what does it mean for us to keep PLUR-ing and staying connected when the rules get stricter? Is it time to start thinking about digital hideouts or just keep cruising with our current setup?

This feels like a real turning point, you know? Like we're at one of those crossroads where we gotta decide if being a BBS is more than just a hobby. Are we ready for all this regulation stuff, or are we gonna find ways to keep it underground and free? What do y'all think about this age verification stuff hitting the scene?

Is it time to start thinking about digital camouflage or is there still room for openness in the network?
