      💯 don’t call it age verification - that’s just what the unmasked scooby-doo villain is still hiding behind.

    Okay, what is this bill actually saying?

    That soon, you won’t even be able to own most computers without registering it under a government ID?

    Because that’s fucking nuts.

    “Key questions remain unanswered, such as the definition of “operating system provider,” the type of verification required, the focus on major commercial platforms, and the potential scope beyond them.”

    I guarantee this bill is unenforceable. Cars, phones, traffic lights all have have computers with operating systems. All modern tech has an operating system of some sort. Also how do you even verify age? If my laptop is offline can I just not use it because it can’t confirm my id? What about tech that never goes online but has an OS, like a calculator? I can’t believe microsoft and apple are not lobbying against this. Who becomes liable if an “underage” person is accidentally given access or if access is denied to an “of age” person. I can just imagine an emt frantically looking for their driver’s license so they can use the computerized defibrillator.

      If the fascists get much further, possessing a library card will disqualify you from voting.
