We will keep defeating these nasty bills, we have to keep pushing and not just giving into what the government wants. As what the government wants is nasty as fuck! There will be means to circumvent such changes, Ageless Linux is working on categorizing the methods of evasion, keeping track of what Linux distros are deciding and doing in regards to Age Verification.
Abolish the 2 party system while you're at it.
Oofta, I'd love to have multiple parties with different priorities to vote for. That would be a huge ask, figuring that out for the American political system would be amazing.
Change the electoral system from first past the post to one of the saner alternatives (preferably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote) and the rest will follow on its own.

Holy shit, what fucking irresponsible parents.
This horseshit is only happening because Meta is lobbying hard for it and throwing tons of money at it, because they want 'protecting children' to be the OS's responsibility, not the website's.
Meta needs verifiable human eyeballs on ads or rates will head wayyyyy down
No this is being pushed by Meta. Fuck zuck.
I don't wanna Fuck Zuck. Might get something I can't get rid of with soap and a sandblaster.
