There's NOTHING Safer than having the Epstein Class KNOW where Kids are and WHEN they're Home Alone!

-US Politicians!

Remember folks, age verification is personal identity verification.

"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.

Rules being implemented and enforced by actual pedophiles

They cant even define an OS. Do i need a fucking login for my wifi fridge and toaster. Such a stupid ffucking law.

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.

Palantir really wants it's fucking database.

All because Petey truly believes that there are demons living in the United States.

Everyone in this comment section, you're just gonna take this? Its been time, but if this is what motivates you to throw bricks at politicians then lets go

I'm having a hard time understanding how this is going to keep kids safe.

Don’t want to compete with a potentially capable Linux? Pay the government to make it illegal!

In the future, you'll be sentenced to 10 years hard labour for a contraband OS while children are raped openly at lavish parties.

palintir, meta, google are all behind it. it serves 2 purposes; silencing dissidents and TRACKING women/potential mothers as brood mares.

Now do you see why I don't trust government?

Because it does things like this. And it's not just our US government doing it. The entire world is getting more and more authoritarian.

Government seeks power. Always. Which is why it must always be restrained.

unrelated but I just want to say theres like 4 separate comments using the word "TrumpID" to describe this age verification, and i think this would be a great way to mock it just like how conservatives called the aca "ObamaCare"

Has Bipartisan support too. The corporations want this, and both of our parties listen to them first and us a distant second. Catering to corporate wants is about the only thing the two parties can agree on. It's probably going to pass, even if I hope it doesn't. Buckle up my friends...

The Internet is built upon and requires anonymous participation! This is an attempt to end privacy...

Ugh, this is so disgusting! They desperately want control over things they should never have! I've shared my opinion will all three of my representatives.

Yup, from the party of pedophiles

Since all TV’s are smart TV’s with an OS this means age verification to watch TV? I think that’s a message that will resonate with the average consumer on what is wrong with this bill

Meta, etc pushing this so that they don’t have to.

I’m so sick of this depraved pedophile oligarch Mossad shit

Fuck everything's my about this.

I can just stop being online. I show my library card when I need to renew my stateID

Finally, torrenting Linux distros becomes a thing, rather than a curiosity

The smart doorlock my dad install now needs an age verification now?
