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”


What are you trying to argue? Non-liberals will demand liberty from intrusive imposition of age verification? What do we call these advocates for social liberty? With which major US political ideology do they belong if they had to choose?
You must be speaking of yourself: now you’re disagreeing with political scientists & historians. The linked article cites definitions & references from both.
The political spectrum article
reaffirms political scientists consider progressives & social liberals on the left.
Not entirely: words still mean things.
Progressivism: ideology
Social liberalism:
So back to modern liberalism in the US: what has it endorsed & pursued?
What are these if not social reforms to advance the human condition (ie, progressive policies)?
What is the support for mixed economy & these issues if not the definition of social liberalism?
Are you claiming any of that has much to do with “notions such as authority, hierarchy, order, duty, tradition, reaction and nationalism” that characterize the right? They seem to have an awful lot more to do with “ideas such as freedom, equality, fraternity, rights, progress, reform and internationalism” that characterize the left.
It’s time to face reality & admit the facts don’t support you.
Then maybe you don’t know many liberals.
Regardless of what you think, people in the libertarian left of the political map exist in the US, and there are only 2 major ideologies there to choose from.
They’re not throwing their lot in with conservatism. That really narrows down the possibilities.
