โšก๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ NEW - A new bill called the Parents Decide Act was introduced this week.

The bill would require operating system companies such as Apple and Google to verify users' real age when they first set up a phone, tablet, or computer in the US.

This โ€œwouldโ€ stop children from lying about their age to bypass restrictions on apps, social media, and AI platforms.

A verified age and parental controls would then apply across the entire device. The full bill text has not been released yet.

On the off chance it passes, it will take exactly 15 seconds for someone to figure out how to get around it. This is performative bullshit.

Another solid reason to avoid using an iPhone.

This is how you require digital ID in order to connect to the internet. This is the first step.

it is clear that they are already desperate to impose age verification everywhere at any cost.
