Colorado Lawmakers Push for Age Verification at the Operating System Level
www.pcmag.com
Rather than having people verify their age on every app they use, Colorado's SB26-051 would implement a way for devices to share an 'age-bracket' signal to third-party apps.

Senator Matt Ball and Representative Amy Paschal presented this bill, Age Attestation on Computing Devices (SB26-051), to the Colorado Senate, where it was assigned to the Business, Labor, and Technology Committee.

California has also made a similar push for such a bill. We really need technology experts talking to these politicians to explain how dangerous bills like these are and actually focus on the real issues of the cost of living, affordable, and healthcare. This is why people think Democrats are controlled opposition.

    This is even dumber/more nefarious than that. They want this at the OS level. So I guess even if you are using something offline and want it air-gapped, these fucking geniuses want age verification?

    All I can say to them is: go fuck yourselves.
