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.

    The other day there was a discussion here about just having government id generate a token that can anonymously verify the user’s age. It’s not as privacy friendly as full anonymity, but at least it’s only between you and the government, which you have to trust for a lot of things anyway. And supposedly some countries in Europe are implementing it that way. Why is this not brought up more?
