    It’s an open standard that could lead to tighter controls on devices in the future.

    You could say that about anything? Are you opposed to oauth/openid because it could lead to tighter controls in the future?

    Why deanonymize the devices themselves?

    Have you read the law? It doesn’t deanonymize anything.

    Wouldn’t it make more sense to require age verification for social media platforms?

    You say that like requiring Reddit to do actual age verification is better than your OS asking you to enter your age on your account.

    and outlaw online gambling?

    I think we should ban online gambling, but that’s also an actual ban instead of the open standards that YOU were asking for.

      If the social media platforms are the problem, then why control the devices and not the social media platforms? Makes no sense unless there’s an ulterior motive.

          It’s not this law, it’s the precedent and how it’ll be used sd leverage later to push super invasive and manipulative shit.

            So a law that is deliberately done in the least invasive way, sets a president to push invasive and manipulative shit?

            Can you explain how? Like in any way? When it’s clearly going to reduce the manipulation of kids.
