So, You’ve Hit an Age Gate. What Now?

EFF is against age gating and age verification mandates, and we hope we’ll win in getting existing ones overturned and new ones prevented. But mandates are already in effect, and every day many people are asked to verify their age across the web, despite prominent cases of sensitive data getting leaked in the process.

Texas has partnered with Turning Point USA to establish chapters on every high school campus, aiming to promote the organization’s conservative agenda. Gov. Abbott and Lt. Gov.
