So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what's left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now's that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

I got so many downvotes last time I suggested this, it was just comical to me how many people get pissed at the implication that they aren't watching their kids, while not watching their kids.

    I wonder how much of the down voting stems from people seeing "let me parent my own kids" as being tied to conservative propaganda used to support anti-woke bills in places like Florida.

    I haven't a clue.

    The context of when I posted it was on a comic about "I'd do anything for my kids except listen to them talk about what they enjoy".

    How else are you supposed to figure what kind of stupid nonsense they're getting up to. Anytime I see my kids focused on almost anything I'll ask "what're you working on?"
