    This is just the slippery slope argument.

    The California law does not require verification. Only attestation.

      California, as of today, does not require any kind of verification to install an OS (how it’s always been).

      This law gets passed, now they require “attestation”.

      A year or two from now, they’re gonna push for for actual age verification.

      A year or two after that, the government will make a new law saying that your drivers license is no longer a valid form of identification, they’re gonna need a retina scan or some other form of “bio” identification.

      Next thing you know, you’ll be pressing your dick imprint on your PC’s automated Cock-Scanner-v4 encryption tray that pops out of your laptop like a cd-rom drive every time you need to check your email.

      Slippery slope, indeed.

        Can you provide any sources for these? Maybe a california legislator saying they plan to do this? Or a proposed law? Otherwise it is just the slippery slope fallacy. While that doesn’t disprove what you said it does not provide a valid argument for it either.

          What do you think their intentions are, and why?

            The intentions for the law?

            AB 1043 offers a scalable, privacy-first approach that helps keep kids safe while holding tech companies accountable.

            This ia a quote directly from the author of the bill link for reference.

            Now of course the obvious question many people might ask is “are they being truthful?” But that is a question that people will have to answer for themselves.
