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.
If it ever gets to this point, I have a ton of books to read. I just won’t use a computer anymore. You’ll find me under a tree in a park reading 1984.
We can build our own internet. With meshtastic. And closed networks.
I don’t think meshtastic will scale that well
It can.
Reticulum also exists now too, and supports the same hardware
Not really. Meshtastic simply does not support high enough bandwidth options.
As someone already pointed out, Reticulum is much better suited for this since it’s more agnostic to the underlying method of transport.
Find in page returned one result for “reticulum,” and it was yours. Sometimes everything doesn’t federate for everyone at the same time.
Anyway my point wasn’t that it can right now, just that necessity is the mother of invention/innovation. I’ll look into reticulum at some point, I just finished vacuuming and mopping after work, and need to clean myself up. Thanks for mentioning it to me.
Yeah. And 99.9% of humanity will go on using McInternet, and whatever the fuck we do won’t matter and they’ll still control all of society and its direction.
I’m like 99% sure that they’ve written off millennials as a total loss as a generation they can control and are grooming Gen alpha to be their little human slaves. The ‘smart’ tech guys decided that cyberpunk dystopia was inevitable and decided to make it themselves.
I’ll be that guy who specializes in extremely outdated hardware that doesn’t have this feature.
Let’s start our own Internet with old PCs and meshtastic
I’ma be both of you

This has recently been happening to me! I have been so fed up with the dumb propagandistic bullshit and the fucking algorithm enema of the Internet lately that I’ve been like- FINE. Fuck this, I have a whole library to entertain me.
I’ve read a bunch of books, classics I missed back when reading was a thing, and it’s amazing. It feels like feeding my scurvy ass brain fruits and vegetables after a decade at sea.
