It’s just shifting the Overton Window. Don’t fall for it. How many pedophiles do you see in jail? Protect the kids my ass.

Just moving the Overton window is not a good argument for or against anything. If you are concerned about what data the government may gather then say that and we can have a real discussion. I am going to assume that you are referencing the epstein files. This is not a law about that, if you want them to be prosecuted then that is something you should direct at your congressperson. Not at a state level law about age attestation.

I’m worried about collection of data. If attestation is useful, then why not just offer it as something to market for only those who need it, like parents who want to restrict for children? Just make a law that devices sold after 2026 cannot be given to kids under whatever age without attestation options. Even then, the device can have the option and not a requirement.

What you propose falls into the same pitfall that I see a lot of people here mentioning. How would we enforce that? From what I have read of this law there is no requirement for the OS to send the data to any source (ie. The government) other than the applications and app stores. There are even requirements that they not send the data elsewhere and nowhere else. People always bring up “it’s just a matter of time until the government starts trying to collect that data.” But that is true every day so I don’t really understand that argument. Besides many of us are on linux anyways where we will just say no.

We shouldn’t have to answer anything. It should be an option only for parents to activate, and if they want to use it then THEY can pay for commercial systems or fund opensource stuff that does that rather than everyome opts out or submits an answer either way. They can get childproof computers for their kids, and leave our’s alone. People will just not stop making things worse.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
