Parents Decide Act (H.R. 8250)
www.govtrack.us
To require operating system providers to verify the age of any user of an operating system, and for other purposes.

So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now’s that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

    Disgusting. This is my representative, I unfortunately voted him in.

    Our president is a pedophile and we still get the “for the children” bullshit. How about making a law requiring tracking the data on the Epstein class phones instead?

    I sent a letter to him, hopefully enough people do.
