California's AB 1043 (Digital Age Assurance Act) is annoying, but nowhere near the danger of other age verification proposals. The requirement is for a signal of age/age bracket from OS to application. It is not verification as we usually define it.

You can make slippery slope arguments, but before you do, worth reading the stated arguments for/against the bill.

Also this bill has been law for some time now??? Goes into effect in 2027, but it became law in October 2025!
