       I don't know enough to write a paper called "Ten Bad Ideas in Online Safety" that explains (briefly, in terms that the general reader will understand) what's wrong with age verification, crypto back doors, and other plausible-but-awful proposals, but I would read it gratefully and share the hell out of it if it existed. (This toot prompted by reading some of PLOS's "quick tips" papers and thinking about the value of anti-tips, i.e., "here are landmines you don't need to step on".)
