So the "age verification" law that everyone is freaking out over just says an OS must offer an interface for specifying the age of a user? And offer a way for applications to check it?

No third party verification of any kind? What even is the problem? THIS IS GOOD.
No. It's useless. It's also the first step. You're foolish to think this has anything at all to do with age verification. It absolutely 100% does not. This is the first step in transmitting your personal information to every website. That's the end goal. This is the first step.
It's useless, so that's why you and everyone else needs to oppose it. If you don't see the real purpose, I'm sorry there's nothing I can do to help you.
Parents already have all the tools to stop Timmy from viewing stuff they don't want. They can already install parental blocks on their router and TV. They can already add parental controls to most eyeProducts. If the parent is concerned, it is the PARENT'S responsibility.
Can Timmy view the same bad content from another computer? Sure, but the parents have instilled the value in the child that it was wrong. That's all you can really do.
