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.

    I assume they’d probably just say you gotta either have a way to load it on-device (e.g. pre-record a video of your face and a photo of your ID, put on USB drive, plug into Pi), or have a way to wirelessly do so from another device, as long as the device you’re verifying is able to connect to the internet, since otherwise age verification wouldn’t really matter in the first place.

    Don’t worry, they’ll find a way to make you give up your personal data no matter what!
