This bill will NOT require ID uploads or any official documents. It is simply mandating a setting that upon device setup that a parent must state the age of the user using the device. That’s it.
Sounds more like a legal framework for the companies to absolve themselves of the responsibility of protecting kids if they happen to see adult content. They can point and say it’s the parents fault for not inputting the age setting correctly.
If you support a minimum drinking age enforced by ID checks, you disagree with your own statement. I’m not saying you do, just that it’s a pretty general statement that in practice most people disagree with. Movie tickets and games sold directly to kids will generally have to be rated for the age of kid too. You can disagree with that, but we’re already at a place where that’s happening. I’m not saying it’s the best way to go about it, but people seem fixated on this talking point and I don’t see people mentioning how this is basically already done with lots of media.
You are absolutely right, but that doesn’t stop a shitty lawyer from suing companies for it.
We also shouldn’t have to put dumb warning labels on sleeping pills that tell people not drive cars or operate heavy machinery, but we do because a lawyer made an argument and won somehow.
I love it every time you open a pill bottle you need to connect to Internet and have ai scan your face and id to prove you’re an adult. Hmm so you want to take warning labels off and have the dumb people fight the lawyers to the death? I accept your proposal.
No one here seems to have read the article.

It passed the assembly unanimously.
Companies shouldn’t be responsible that is what your parents are for.
