There’s no good links from the article about the actual wording of the bill, but you all realize this would probably affect Lemmy and Mastodon too, right?

As I get older, I’ve realized that places like here and reddit would be wildly better if everyone younger than me wasn’t allowed to use it, lol. :P

That would very much depend on the specific implementation details. If it’s done in the same vein as pornographic content it would be as simple as adding a “If you live in Florida you must be over 18 to create an account. Click here to certify you don’t live in Florida or are over 18.” disclaimer to the account creation page. If it tries to add some kind of identity verification service that requires companies to use, then that’s a whole other problem and would effectively make it DOA.
