TLDW:

Brazil is requiring OS level age verification by march 17th, 2026.

New York about to vote on a law that would "require all manufacturers of internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reason-able and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation."

In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.

What about the UK, Australia and the European Union, then?

The UK has had "Big Brother" since before you could still run straight through a pre-9/11 US airport terminal and tearfully declare your love to your childhood sweetheart before they boarded that plane.

All things considered, life isn't that scary here.

The evil Christians don’t stop their nonsense at borders. That shit is universal, man.

My argument is that it's not Christians. That is a simplistic view of the stakeholders.

Take it far enough and you’ll always unmask a Christian that thinks the internet is sin.
