Thanks, Dems (Fuck Colorado)

[FuckESPNdotCOM]

Two Colorado Democrats introduced a bill that would require OPERATING SYSTEMS, not just adult websites, to implement age verification. WTAF? Are they all fucking high or just fucking retarded?

It hasn't been voted on or introduced into law, but it is fucking disgusting. This is basically a worse sequel to Repugs requiring you handing over your credit card, driver's license, or a fucking face scan on porn sites. That went into effect in 2025 and it totally fucked several sites. Discord made a similar decision regarding age verification, but it wasn't written into fucking law.

Fucking 1984 horse shit.

Basically the same thing in California was already signed into law... It goes into effect in January 2027.
This is 1984. Fucking Christ. :banghead

Not at the OS level. I posted about that before. Fucking 1984 shit.
RE: OS-level age verification: It's horse shit pushed by Meta to blame the OSes instead of Meta for shit like child porn that Meta evidently has. And if they go through with it, we're talking a censored version of the Internet to anyone who doesn't hand over their ID to every BS website they visit or is under 18 or whatever arbitrary age they choose. Like imagine if Leapfrog wasn't just some kid tablet, but the entire internet. It's fucking disgusting.

RE: FL law: It's not a huge hurdle to let someone watch you in the bathroom, but it's still a gross invasion of privacy. Do you want your ID picture and name tied to what porn you watch? Because it would easier to do with this kind of tracking.
