I’m so glad someone who can fight it is fighting it. They usually listen to companies more than people.
I’m saddened Democrats are pushing this before the midterms. They’re going to fumble this if they keep on this track.
California, Colorado and New York now.
Honestly is getting insane.
Given how many states are pushing legislation like this and how quickly they’re doing it, there’s effectively no way to push back against it…
I do hope that they stop this bullshit though.
Sometimes it freaks me out if I put my tinfoil hat on and start thinking that both sides are working together to move toward fascism.
Its almost like the democrats are also a right wing party. Left of far right has never meant left wing in this country. Hence the ratchet effect
Whats up with these sudden age check laws being introduced everywhere?
Thiele, the palantir/flock camera guy, who just so happened to be good friends with Epstein for many years as well, wants everyone’s computers broadcasting who’s an underaged user to every website they visit. He’s been one of the voices pushing this.
Lmao does the register really cite Reddit as a source? it was a cesspool off missinformation on the CA bill, I doubt it’s any better on the CO one.
Why not link to the actual bill like it does for other states?
It’s also wildly disingenuous to lump the bills that require verification and those that just require an OS store an unverified age and return it, but that’s what I’d expect from reddit.
There’s still valid concern about this being a foot in the door tactic. Once an OS complies with this request what will the next one be? Why should this even be allowed?
Either way though, the reddit citation is a bit unnerving.
I don’t want either. And it’s a slippery slope to the next stage, and the next. Eventually we will have no control over what we own and zero privacy.
A local API is slippery nipples to a survailance state who knew.
Why use a computer at all, it’s the first step towards mass surveillance, better go back to the abacus!
