Very insightful and well written! These Age verification laws are going too far and were never about the kids to being with.
Did you read the same article or law?
CA's law isn't age verification, it's an API to return the age bracket for a kid to app stores, the article correctly notes that it won't be verifying anything.
It's "foot between the door".
Once this has been established as "normal", they'll slowly pile on more and more restrictions.
Better to call out this bullshit know instead of mindlessly agreeing.
Fuck that was the best episode in the season...for the wrong reasons.
IMO it's Better to support a good initiative than supporting corporations by mindlessly believing all the fearslop generated to protect them.
