Mr. Funk E. Dude’s PeerTubeI expect to see this go to court any day now. There's too many corporations that are going to fight this. I don't even see how they could enforce this? Does my fridge OS need age verification now???

ClickyMcTicker@mrfunkedude Not sure, but traffic lights run operating systems. Somebody needs to go type their age into those.
@mrfunkedude Bonus:
“(2) (A) A developer that receives a signal pursuant to this title shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the age range of the user to whom that signal pertains across all platforms of the application and points of access of the application even if the developer willfully disregards the signal.”
Based on my understanding, a user whose age is marked as 21 shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the age range of the user to whom that signal pertains across all platforms. Thus, if you tell your OS that you’re 21, you should be allowed to order alcohol and have it shipped to your house, with no additional information. Age verification is a two-way street.
I’m sure they won’t allow that, though.
