Here is a summary from the link shared above:
Requires manufacturers of internet-enabled devices to conduct age assurance to determine a user's age category and provide all websites, online services, online applications and mobile applications on such user's internet-enabled device and/or application store manufactured by the covered manufacturer with a digital signal that such user is a covered minor as well as the age category of such covered minor via a real-time application programming interface (API).

Please don't underestimate the people in these federal agencies. They might not seem like the ones pushing it, but they are absolutely carrying out the will of billionaires who think we deserve nothing. And the people working in these agencies are not dumb, they are smart and they are ruthless.
They are serving people who are determined to get their way. And only a massive, and threatening push back will stop this.
