minus-squareschnurrito@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·20 days ago The bill H. R. 8250 actually seems somewhat reasonable, especially compared to some other state-specific bills that we’ve seen. No. Software code is free speech and the government should not be able to regulate what the people do in software code in such a way.
minus-squarehoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·20 days agoYeah what is this shit There currently exists no solution I am aware of that is enforceable enough and privacy preserving for age verification. We are banking on this being non-enforceable. Great. Why are we doing this again? Fuck the people who wrote this bill and those who voted for it.

minus-squarehoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·20 days agoOk that means there’s a chance this doesn’t get passed. I hope it doesn’t, this bill is stupid and dangerous in an insidious way.
