Your definition may of course vary, but if age-check in itself is fascism, it becomes hard to run any community or society where people don't know a lot about each other by other means.
(Eg. a small town pub where "everybody knows your name".)
The question of fascism comes up when we start talking about how the age-check is made, and what other information gets shared in addition to age. Or how that age-check can be misused, even in theory.

@iju @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox looking at the emoji in aria's profile, not knowing if they are trans, but if they are i understand why they feel threatened by id checks if i were trans i would feel intensely threatened, physically, mortally, by id checks especially in countries like my like stupid fucking country (the usa) at the same time: if i *really* cared about id checks, i wouldn't be attacking the wrong entity aria's heart is in the right place but their brain is AWOL
