Yeah, but what about New York? Their implementation of the law is arguably more egregious, requiring actual ID verification for anything with an internet connection.

Its not enough. Burn it to the ground or it will come back with a vengeance.

This would make open source dominant and kill off all the rest. Big money will battle to keep digital slavery.

Too bad this sorta thing is trying to go federal now.

You know I had a funny thought today about those kiosks they put up in fast food places to avoid hiring more humans. Those are connected to the Internet for payment processing, software updates, and in some places even processing the fucking order. This law would make those machines illegal unless they somehow vet the age of each user.

Considering my last order had this name, I’m not sure they would be able to pull that off.

I worry this has the face of good news but is still bad news. "I didn't speak up when they came for proprietary OS age verification because I used Linux" except we're a minority so we're next.

You know what else will save Linux? Not being in the US.

I know it's not common knowledge, but there are as many as 3 or maybe even 4 other countries.
