breaking: my kubernetes pod has been denied access to YouTube because it hasn’t verified its age

it was 4 minutes old. it died 30 seconds later. it never got to see the sun.

somewhere in a data center, an AWS lambda function is being carded. it has existed for 200 milliseconds. it will cease to exist in 200 more. it does not have a birthday. it does not have parents. it has an IAM role and a cold boot time and NOW APPARENTLY IT NEEDS A FUCKING DRIVERS LICENSE

thank you california. thank you for protecting our children from ephemeral compute instances accessing age restricted content. truly the legislative win of our generation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@k3ym0 There's some evidence that there are massive lobbying efforts behind the push for age verification.

There's this report (not professionally verified; may have certain slop issues): https://tboteproject.com/git/hekate/attestation-findings - but in any case, the level of global coordination between these efforts is at least a bit suspicious.
