Someone traced $2B in grants and 45 states of lobbying records behind US age-verification bills. The trail leads to Meta — $70M in super PACs, a front group with no IRS filing, and bill language hand-delivered by a Meta lobbyist. The bills target operating systems, not social media. Is this anti-competitive regulation, fear of TikTok, or OS-level surveillance infrastructure? https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1rshc1f/i_traced_2_billion_in_nonprofit_grants_and_45/ #Linux #Privacy #Meta #Surveillance

Or is it simply the easiest way to convince a 70 year old who has only a hazy understanding of what an OS even is to pass legislation that will effectively wipe out all of Meata's competitors?
