Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level
Asafum@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoApparently Louisiana was the first state to really push for this kind of stuff so I seriously doubt conservatives in government would stop pushing stuff like this either.
It’s one of those things that’s going to be inevitable… It’s always “FoR tHe KiDs” but it’s really about knowing exactly what every citizen is doing at all times so they can come after you for whatever displeases them.

Just to point out I’m Canadian and regardless of who started it. Saying they’ll vote Republican to avoid this stuff comes from substantial ignorance.

The only spin I can see from the right side is they want to be so ass deep into your tech stack that they don’t even have to ask to verify who you are.

I’m also Canadian lol. The point I’m making is that if it has me thinking like this, imagine people who were truly on the fence.
They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

If you’re Canadian then you know “left of center” in American units is still to the right of center everywhere else in the world.
It’s absurd to see a democrat doing something and blame liberals for it.

I was talking about Canada, should have mentioned that. Carney brought up that he wants to look at the issue, and God damnit I will fight this thing or at least the version that’s going to put all of our data at risk.
If it passes anyway, then I cannot in good conscience vote for any party who approved age verification like it is done in the UK, Australia, and some States.
