**timdaub.eth**: Let it be known that Kiwi News will not implement KYC to filter for bots! This is the biggest non sense, to KYC and dox everybody just so that big tech has human only trading data!! Fuck that

**rvolz.eth**: That story sounds incredible: https://www.sambent.com/the-engineer-who-tried-to-put-age-verification-into-linux-5/


**timdaub.eth**: mhh but that blog post was weirdly written… What do you think the author is implying?

**rvolz.eth**: That is probably why there is this quiz at the end 😄.
