New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level - Reddthat

>New York just proposed the most invasive state-level age verification bill the US has seen. Senate Bill S08102 would extend age verification requirements down to the device itself: internet-connected devices, operating system providers, and app stores would all be required to implement what the bill calls “age assurance” before users can access their own hardware and software ecosystems.

Now, I’m definitely not the smartest with this topic, but identification would be better at the device level than the cloud, right?

How are you verifying the age at the device level? Unless it allows you just say your age, then it will require sending personal information to some ‘verifying authority’. Every age verification push is just an expansion of the surveillance state.

Anything the state does to ‘protect kids’ is bullshit until they ensure every child has food, medical care, proper education, housing, etc.

I’m not advocating. I’m asking a question. Not making a statement.

Oh, I wasn’t trying to be argumentative. I was just trying to answer that at the fundamental level there has to be someone trusted to verify your info, so the data can’t just stay on your device. Unless they just trust the user to state their own age which would defeat the purpose of the law.

The rest was mostly just because I’m so sick of the bullshit and I didn’t feel like making a separate comment in addition to replying to you. Sorry if I came off as hostile to you.

Why?

Why does there need to be age verification at all?

We’ve had computera since the 1940s, and never needed this. We’ve had the internet since the 1990s and never needed this.

Now that a pedophile is in the white house, and an entire network of pedophile politicians have been revealed, NOW they want to protect the children???

And you honestly believe that?

I don’t know if you’re intentionally misunderstanding what I am saying or what, but I’m not saying age verification is needed. I’m saying that for their age verification plan to function, there would need to be a verifying authority and identifying information would need to be passed from your device to them.

My first comment should have made it very clear that all of this is baseless garbage designed to further state surveillance goals.
