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.

… I really don’t want to have to stop using all fucking technology now. Ffs this is absolutely disgustingly absurd. EVERYTHING GETS HACKED I am not tying my ID and real name to literally everything I do on an electronic device…

I’m usually left of centre, even a bit more to the left than that.

But all these liberal places passing these laws… They’re making it difficult not to change teams.

I don’t watch conservative mouthpieces on YouTube, just the literal reality of these badly thought-of, privacy nightmare laws… All a conservative would have to tell me is they would revert this, and I’d be hard pressed to vote otherwise.

They’re not getting the memo are they…

Lol that’s like saying you’d vote in favor of voter suppression laws in exchange for gun rights… yeeaaah no don’t do that lol

Don’t trust conservatives

In Canada our cons are dumb, but not brain dead like the US’.

I don’t want to vote for them.

But once age verification garbage enters the picture, I become a one-issue voter.

So as a one issue voter, you’d vote for the people doing the thing you don’t like more than the other group, instead of those doing it less?

And you called your cons dumb…

Hey after I fight tooth and nail, write opinion columns, write to all politicians I have access to, and create petitions, if all of this wasn’t enough, what else is there to do?

It’s not a sure thing in Canada, and maybe a party further left will vote against it and oppose it, in which case yeah I’d vote for that.
