How about instead the parents decide? I can let me kid use the computer for as long or as little as I want. Cars have no age verification. Simply driving as a minor is not allowed. I get to train my kid to drive or go to driving school. Thus a computer simply needs me to be root and for I to establish my own control and destructions. If the law says you can't be on the internet as a minor, then fine I can restrict the internet access. Otherwise a computer is just a fancy calculator.
Isn’t that how the proposed law was going to work?
No, they want everyone, including the household admin to identify themselves. Might as well serve my balls fried on a silver platter to any scammer looking for a fun time.
Is this different from the California law? Do you support that one?
