Breaking Down the New Stupid Ageist Californian Law that Requires Age Verification at OS account setup

This is the first part of the law that should be illegal.

“… require a developer to request a signal with respect to a particular user from an operating system provider or a covered application store when the application is downloaded and launched. “.

And if I buy a toaster do I also need to tell toaster.com when I press the toast lever and what kind of bread I like? What the fuck assholes!

My computer is mine and mine alone.

This is a terrible take. This law is not “age verification” at all, there’s no ID checks or face scans. This is the exact equivalent of entering 1900 January 1 for websites that ask for your birthday.

Aegist?

I mean I guess, but its not what that word typically means.

Its just fascist.

Maybe we’ll be able to set up a system level user account that was “born yesterday” so it will be automatically illegal to track or advertise to minors. So dumb.

Whoever made that website needs to never design another thing in their life.

No thanks on the scientific racism. Imagine if any other religion said this.

This is one of the worst web pages I’ve ever seen. The article is nearly unreadable because of it.

'Age verification' is a thin pretext for the real purpose: mandating an API that allows remote access and control of the operating system.
