  The mass majority of parents don’t parent. This is the problem. My first introduction to this was when NWA was causing a ruckus and got white christian womens panties in a kerfuffle that led to parental advisory labels on music.

  Ultimately having the government force age ID isn’t about parenting. Its a pathway to further, easier surveillance on the public under the guise of “protecting the children”.

  Obviously every device will be required to have both

  1. An always on camera for facial recoog, recounting of wrinkles using AI

  2.Always on microphone for voice age analysis through stress levels using AI

  3. Running the only safe and super duper secure operating system Microsoft AI.

  If you don’t have all three it’s an automatic 3 strikes felony offense and you’re sent straight to labor camps for the rest of your existence no AI needed (silver lining right? Riiiight)

  Duh.

  I don’t believe you can visually identify asbestos in paint and or other materials. There may be indicators but to be sure you need it tested.

  In my neck of the US, I was required to take samples to a lab for testing prior to dumping during a remodel. Think it was about 135 for exterior paint and plater/drywall. Check your local regulations.
