California AB 1043 signed. Mandatory os-level, device-level, app store, and even developer-required age verification for all computing devices.
Edit: altered title from “ID check” to “Age Verification check”


Exactly, which is how I and many privacy respecting groups have been begging for it. We know the ultimate issue, they want nsfw off the internet. This shuts down the whole “it’s for the children” bs without us needing to give away who we are at all. This is the most sane way to age gate. , and they won’t be able to hide behind that excuse anymore.
Oh boy you are so cute and innocent, believing they’d even want to hide.
Except because it’s in bad faith this won’t work they’ll demand it could be made stricter and use its existence as precident that we should obey them
