Colorado Lawmakers Push for Age Verification at the Operating System Level

Rather than having people verify their age on every app they use, Colorado's SB26-051 would implement a way for devices to share an 'age-bracket' signal to third-party apps.

I disagree

Decades of treating the web as an unregulated everyone online free-for-all have proven to been deeply corrosive to many factors of society (democracy, crime, youth, cohesion, etc)

It is past time the long established product safety rules in IRL applied online - and that requires age verification in some cases

What we need to fight is the consolidation of more power in the hands of the greedy. Unaccountable techbros are the problem, not the concept of regulation
