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.
