Here is a link to learn more about the bill.
It is also important to note this legislation also includes language for ongoing, real-time monitoring. Not just verification
Here is a summary from the link shared above:
Requires manufacturers of internet-enabled devices to conduct age assurance to determine a user's age category and provide all websites, online services, online applications and mobile applications on such user's internet-enabled device and/or application store manufactured by the covered manufacturer with a digital signal that such user is a covered minor as well as the age category of such covered minor via a real-time application programming interface (API).
I love the inclusion of the API acronym; all super serious sounding. Like these dumb pedophiles even know what an API is!
You are encouraged to have an opinion about this. It is obvious what is happening here.
Do you have the spine to be remembered?
We are at an epic turning point in human history. Those who rise to meet that standard are today's heroes.
The real world, filled with everyday people, needs individuals who embody a willingness to say "Get fucked!"
If this is your first time learning about heroics, look up information about the "hero's journey". Also known as the "monomyth".
It's okay to be new. What isn't okay is to sit on the sidelines in today's world.
You are alive today. Take full advantage of it.
This is way off the mark. Fascists were able to bring the world to its knees 50 years before the internet. We simply don't need any solution that you are referring to. Fascism does not need internet.
But Fascism can use Internet as a tool just as well.
Like, as a society we used to rely on local radio and local TV news.
Now it's all international websites and international social media. In 50 years, the field of information has changed and how society gets their information has changed. Non-Boomers are not getting their news and information from local sources anymore and external sources are certainly taking advantage of that.
It is a problem we, and every Nation world-wide, will need to face.
Quick binary question, simple Yes or No: Do you think governments around the world are using Social Media and The Internet as a whole to influence certain parts of other Nations society for their own gain (and/or to meet their own agendas)?
Yes
Great! So we can at least agree that this is a problem, now how do we solve it?
If we cannot regulate the internet as a whole, and you don't think we can trust our government(s) with verification information such as biometrics (gross), how do we as a society fight against this type of cyber-warfare? Something that could be implemented by every Nation.
You're literally the first person in this thread to answer a proposed question, big props.
