Comment on System76 on Age Verification Laws

Did you read the same article or law?

CA’s law isn’t age verification, it’s an API to return the age bracket for a kid to app stores, the article correctly notes that it won’t be verifying anything.

It’s “foot between the door”.

Once this has been established as “normal”, they’ll slowly pile on more and more restrictions.

Better to call out this bullshit know instead of mindlessly agreeing.

  IMO it’s Better to support a good initiative than supporting corporations by mindlessly believing all the fearslop generated to protect them.

It’s meant to manufacture consent.

Come back in 5 years and see if they’re still satisfied with it.

  Unlike the lootboxes you think kids should have unrestricted access to, I’m sure the corporations will be satisfied and won’t push even worse technology on kidsm

    Hear me out: maybe just maybe parents could show some fucking responsibility regarding their children and access to the internet.
    
    Quit pushing “help the children!!” propaganda man.

Its demographic data to be misused by advertising companies to see if they’re attracting kids (assuming people are actually truthful; i was totally 18 when i first looked at porn, trust me bro).

  To tear a company to shreds for getting kids addicted to loot boxes you first have to show they know their targeting kids.
  
  This isn’t about porn, it’s about app stores & Roblox.

    You’re forgetting that the parents are more responsible to their children’s safety. Don’t be like getting your 13 yr old gta 5. Easiest thing to do is buy an off the shelf solution for your win11 device to restrict and monitor.
