I really wish they’d stop calling it “age verification”. It’s “identity verification”.
They’re trying to control other people’s children. It’s evil
No, they’re trying to control everyone. This is so they can more easily track absolutely everyone
They’re trying to do both, they’re starting with children because they believe that they should have the right to control everyone’s children and they’re using it as a wedge issue to oppress everyone else. Fascists always start with the people with the fewest rights

Does this law apply to all social media/social media-type sites, or only social media websites under the umbrella of the NetChoice group?
The articles on this are all frustratingly vague. Bluesky is not under NetChoice so I assume all social media sites will eventually be blocking MS IPs?
My understanding is that it applies to every site which hosts any NSFW content, whether or not minors can access it
I’m about ready to cancel my internet and buy a book. Maybe even go outside.
Extreme times, extreme measures…?
These laws will make Americans seek escape from empire monitoring through VPNs. Empire will coopt the VPNs and then democrats accessing Bluesky without identity verification will be charged with hacking crimes.
Didn’t some woman shoot up Google headquarters because of some age verification process on YouTube where she specifically made makeup videos geared toward children and lost all her revenue or subscribers?
