So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.
Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.
SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now’s that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.



Given that we’re on a global community, how will this erase my right to free speech here in Europe?
Or were you, like so many, just assuming everybody online lives in your country, so why bother mentioning what country you’re talking about in your title or description?
Because the EU is also trying to get it’s own age verification AND they can and have been influenced by policies from the USA as well as manipulated by the same corporations and billionaires that are getting these laws passed not only in USA states but also in other countries as well. This threat was already beyond the borders of the USA and everyone needs to take it’s threat very seriously
Do you honestly believe we are insulated from this in Europe? Have you not been following the madness that is ChatControl? Have you read this report https://www.investigate-europe.eu/posts/big-tech-data-centres-secrecy-eu-law-environment-footprint
