@Starfia@mastodon.social Thanks for beating the drum!
I looked up H.R. 8250 and found a "Prognosis: 1% of being enacted" here:

Early opposition won't hurt nevertheless!

Thanks, Alex – I appreciate that source of reassurance. Intuitively, this strikes me as unlikely to pass at the US federal level based simply on its merits. But I can't ignore the half-dozen US states that have recently enacted laws widely enforcing age verification or restricting online access (momentum backing federal law is historically built this way), and other regions – Australia, the UK, even Canada – who are, or are talking about, doing similarly (a more general trend of influence).
