Is everyone ignoring the direct quote in the orginal post that is referring to laws (California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025)) that are going to force you to verify your age?

The California law does not require verification. Only attestation.

No; I think these bills are terrible and should be resisted. But the outrage about (what is effectively) a database on your pc to store information that itself doesn’t do anything is ridiculous. If abyone wants or needs to implement a system like that (could be for work,for example), that’s perfectly fine. What isn’t fine is the existence of the laws in the first place, and they shouldn’t be resisted with (just) technology.
