    Basically, it'll become a crime to sell a computer with a pre-installed operating system unless it supports an age assurance system.

    Armed thugs of the state break into every home, and install their bigbrotherware operating system, and kill anyone who flinches like they might be committing any acts of dissidence. There we go. Everybody happy. And of course, you wont own the software. You'll be renting it. Like everything else. Own nothing, be happy. Maybe they care. :/
