It's FOSSAge verification is spreading like the plague. When does it stop? 🤧
OCTADE"Lastly, my take on this situation? This feels less like coincidence and more like a coordinated move being run under the guise of protecting children's rights. We already know how certain regimes around the world treat those rights."
Yeah, they sure love protecting other people's children.
In truth, these politicos don't care about anyone's children.
The California age verification law makes it easier for malicious actors to positively identify and target children. The OS and databases will now contain age data that malicious actors could potentially use to narrow down the hunt for younger prey. This is the opposite of protecting children. It allows the developers and app stores to directly target children, too.

Artstories@octade @itsfoss If they were serious about protecting children they would:
a) ban X
b) regulate all social networks and would enforce the laws
c) would heavily fine those tech-bros for violating existing laws.
d) teach children to think critically about the internet and social media. Why in school? Because a lot of grown-ups seem to lack the common sense be able to do this at home.
