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…

Apparently Louisiana was the first state to really push for this kind of stuff so I seriously doubt conservatives in government would stop pushing stuff like this either.

It’s one of those things that’s going to be inevitable… It’s always “FoR tHe KiDs” but it’s really about knowing exactly what every citizen is doing at all times so they can come after you for whatever displeases them.

Just to point out I’m Canadian and regardless of who started it. Saying they’ll vote Republican to avoid this stuff comes from substantial ignorance.

The only spin I can see from the right side is they want to be so ass deep into your tech stack that they don’t even have to ask to verify who you are.

I’m also Canadian lol. The point I’m making is that if it has me thinking like this, imagine people who were truly on the fence.

They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

If you’re Canadian then you know “left of center” in American units is still to the right of center everywhere else in the world.

It’s absurd to see a democrat doing something and blame liberals for it.

I was talking about Canada, should have mentioned that. Carney brought up that he wants to look at the issue, and God damnit I will fight this thing or at least the version that’s going to put all of our data at risk.

If it passes anyway, then I cannot in good conscience vote for any party who approved age verification like it is done in the UK, Australia, and some States.

So you replied to an article about something happening in the US to talk about Canada without mentioning Canada anywhere in your original post?
