Legislation like the Parents Decide Act (H.R. 8250) creates honeypots & privacy nightmares. It's labeled a "technical necessity", but I'm releasing phase 1 of my project to prove that decentralized, non-invasive verification is possible.

Phase 1: Position paper + ZKP demo.
Phase 2 : Auditing D-Bus vulnerabilities.
Phase 3: Creating a local parental control utility based on findings in phase 2.
