@nixCraft This will blow over like all the covid laws and be deemed unlawful sooner rather than later if no one just jumps on board. Use a virtual machine to access social if you use em. For anything open source any programmer worth a lil salt can setup a fake age system and we all know kids learn fast

@slayer256 @nixCraft the point of these laws isn't to enforce them. It's something to add to your charges when they already want to target you. So feel free to ignore them, but if/when some LE agency decides you're next, that's just one more thing they'll tack on.

@lerxst @slayer256 @nixCraft Or as a pretext law: We saw this, probable cause, used it to get a warrant.

@lerxst @nixCraft im def not a legal rep in anyway but the law reads that it has to harm a minor in order to get a fine so by that pretext wouldn't that void any charge or other wise if the user isn't a minor and has never let one use the system?

@slayer256 @nixCraft a good question but will cops and prosecutors parse it the same way? Best case you probably had to shell out a couple grand for an attorney.

@lerxst @nixCraft I am inclined to agree with you there. But I still feel like there is a loop hole law makers always create one to cover themselves and associates but a nerfed internet as its being called could have benefits too. Just hypothetical again but in pretty much any state its mostly illegal to track or permanently store data about minors. So in that theory almost all tracking becomes illegal
