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).

    @alexskunz@mas.to – This particular bill strikes me as the biggest and most concerning one to date, but perhaps what I'm reacting to is the relative silence on Mastodon – though I think I'm following hundreds of developers, or at least nerds – about any of this.
