That’s not the freedom these people want. They want their own freedoms that don’t include those things and the freedom to stop other people having freedom. (Old testament Christian-only the bits I like) God bless America!

I’m just over here in “hellscape” California enjoying the freedom to not have to do this, and I can walk down the street to the weed shop, and my girlfriend still has basic human rights over her own body.
Do any other states, like Texas, need some of our freedom? We’ve got some to spare.

Yes, we do.
But when people in blue states get something, they stop caring about whether anyone else has it.

Why hasn’t California, become an Island already, like they taught me in school with earthquakes? I’m just waiting for more dispensaries to carry Shrooms because currently lockout of getting any from Canada right now because well, they hate America’s with the tariffs. I have a few local selections they just have more variety.

I think California recently passed the Digital Age Assurance Act, which was backed by Google,Meta, and OpenAI. I think it goes into effect in 2027.

Just to be clear, because I had to look into it a bit, California’s law won’t require photos/IDs.
“Operating system providers need not collect additional information like photos of government IDs to verify the user’s age. Based on this age information, operating system providers must send digital signals via real-time API (age signals) to developers upon request, transmitting the user’s age range bracket – under 13, at least 13 and under 16, at least 16 and under 18, or at least 18. When a user downloads and launches a developer’s application, the developer must request an age signal from the relevant operating system provider or the application store from which the user downloaded the application.”
So I’m assuming those companies backed it because they want more analytics about the age ranges of the people who use their products.

They already know the age of their users… They bloody well know. They backed that bill because it gives them a legal leg to bully out smaller 3rd parties and solidify their respective monopolies.
