Linux PC vendor System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks

: Don't celebrate yet – more states are considering them

The Register
Whats up with these sudden age check laws being introduced everywhere?
Governments wanting to identify and regulate speech under the guise of protecting children

The California law does not require age verification. Only attestation. From what I have heard the Colorado one is basically identical.

The NY one I have heard is more stringent. But I have not read that or the Colorado one.

Still a 1st Amendment violation, no? Compelling speach

While I can’t comment on any case law surrounding compelled speech. I don’t thing that this would qualify as compelled speech.

Just based off a quick web search it seems that compelled speech is more about the government telling news organizations to report what they tell them.

Forcing someone to disclose information about themselves (age or age bracket) is compelled speech
They don’t have to, they can choose not to use the internet! /s
I’d like to change timelines please and thank you
Doesn’t fucking matter. It’s only a matter of time until they push for full deanonymization of everyone on the internet.
