There's NOTHING Safer than having the Epstein Class KNOW where Kids are and WHEN they're Home Alone!

-US Politicians!

Remember folks, age verification is personal identity verification.

"Key questions remain unanswered, such as the definition of “operating system provider,” the type of verification required, the focus on major commercial platforms, and the potential scope beyond them."

I guarantee this bill is unenforceable. Cars, phones, traffic lights all have have computers with operating systems. All modern tech has an operating system of some sort. Also how do you even verify age? If my laptop is offline can I just not use it because it can't confirm my id? What about tech that never goes online but has an OS, like a calculator? I can't believe microsoft and apple are not lobbying against this. Who becomes liable if an "underage" person is accidentally given access or if access is denied to an "of age" person. I can just imagine an emt frantically looking for their driver's license so they can use the computerized defibrillator.

They cant even define an OS. Do i need a fucking login for my wifi fridge and toaster. Such a stupid ffucking law.

I'm having a hard time understanding how this is going to keep kids safe.

Don’t want to compete with a potentially capable Linux? Pay the government to make it illegal!

In the future, you'll be sentenced to 10 years hard labour for a contraband OS while children are raped openly at lavish parties.

Fuck everything's my about this.

The smart doorlock my dad install now needs an age verification now?

Everyone in this comment section, you're just gonna take this? Its been time, but if this is what motivates you to throw bricks at politicians then lets go

Ugh, this is so disgusting! They desperately want control over things they should never have! I've shared my opinion will all three of my representatives.

unrelated but I just want to say theres like 4 separate comments using the word "TrumpID" to describe this age verification, and i think this would be a great way to mock it just like how conservatives called the aca "ObamaCare"

palintir, meta, google are all behind it. it serves 2 purposes; silencing dissidents and TRACKING women/potential mothers as brood mares.

Since all TV’s are smart TV’s with an OS this means age verification to watch TV? I think that’s a message that will resonate with the average consumer on what is wrong with this bill

Primary Josh Gottheimer. Write in anyone else against him. Vote against him or withhold voting at all in the general.

Do not signal that this is tolerated.

Palantir really wants it's fucking database.

All because Petey truly believes that there are demons living in the United States.

I’m so sick of this depraved pedophile oligarch Mossad shit

Totally unenforceable. You going to prevent people from downloading open-source, noncompliant Linux from Asia or Europe? Good luck.

I can just stop being online. I show my library card when I need to renew my stateID

And yet another reason to abandon mercan tech.

Would this bill ban the use of all operating systems released before it became law? That seems unlikely.

So then how about OSs released before it became law, with patches released afterwards? That also seems unlikely.

So then how about my computer's current OS, which is a heavily patched version of a little hobby OS called Linux, originally released in 1991?
