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.
You are still acting under the assumption that we will be allowed purchase our own hardware like a Raspberry Pi, or some stick of RAM to upgrade our desktop PC.
They want us on dumb terminals like in WallE, consuming the content they want us to see, and squashing the inconvenient truths they don’t like.
Does your little Blueberry cake or whatever have Microsoft SecureBoot Copilot Plus? No? It’s ILLEGAL and you can go to JAIL for having it! SURRENDER TO THE AI DRONE NOW.
The real problem is that I’m not being hyperbolic.
Well they can try to do that but it won’t work. I already have at least 4 Raspberry Pis, and who knows how many other computers could be lurking around.
They’ll just end up like any other form of draconian prohibition - black markets everywhere. Even my grandpa knew a bootlegger in small town USA where alcohol was illegal.
