Here is a link to learn more about the bill.

It is also important to note this legislation also includes language for ongoing, real-time monitoring. Not just verification

Here is a summary from the link shared above:

Requires manufacturers of internet-enabled devices to conduct age assurance to determine a user’s age category and provide all websites, online services, online applications and mobile applications on such user’s internet-enabled device and/or application store manufactured by the covered manufacturer with a digital signal that such user is a covered minor as well as the age category of such covered minor via a real-time application programming interface (API).

I love the inclusion of the API acronym; all super serious sounding. Like these dumb pedophiles even know what an API is!

You are encouraged to have an opinion about this. It is obvious what is happening here.

Do you have the spine to be remembered?

We are at an epic turning point in human history. Those who rise to meet that standard are today’s heroes.

The real world, filled with everyday people, needs individuals who embody a willingness to say “Get fucked!”

If this is your first time learning about heroics, look up information about the “hero’s journey”. Also known as the “monomyth”.

It’s okay to be new. What isn’t okay is to sit on the sidelines in today’s world.

You are alive today. Take full advantage of it.

    I’ll be that guy who specializes in extremely outdated hardware that doesn’t have this feature.

        I’ve long since thought we should do this, and avoid the pitfalls the internet has fallen into. The entire stack needs to be foss and standardised, including hardware. It needs to be mostly incompatible with anything before it (Can still be standardised in a POSIX-like way but not “you can run your old windows program” compatible), and it needs to be designed democratically (and as much as people hate bureaucracy, designed by committee of academics and other not-for-profit organizations and individuals). We need what is essentially a less violent computer cultural revolution

        I was thinking of a fediverse BBS. With automated synchronization between nodes with modems and radios. Would need to cut down on videos and graphics but could work
