This is incredibly alarming, and it’s the thin end of a wedge of surveillance the US government is about to insert into every tech product.

It should have been nipped in the bud, but of course nothing is anymore.

This is literally within not an operating system's scope. Just because they don't know what an OS is doesn't give them a valid excuse to screw over the entire world with their stupidity.

It has never, and will never have anything to do with age. It’s all about registration so they can monitor every tiny thing we do.

Of whom, when it has no 'the user'? What about their smart fridge? The espresso machine, next? They make no sense. (They are very dangerous.)

You don't even need to, and probably should not, entertain or respond to the outrageous lie that this is about protecting children.

Technically outlaws retro computing, or anything that isn't internet-connected, doesn't have a camera, or can't be updated to support verification. Trivially bypassed with fake ID. a friend who looks older, or a copy of Garry's Mod.

It's an utterly insane idea, and I'm angry that it's gotten this far.

What, we want to prevent minors from using technology now? For what purpose? It doesn't make any sense at all.

And main problem is that it most likely be approved being the average IQ of congress members.

They are basically adding block by block limitation to the freedom of computing.

And always for safety of the "children", that given the current US president well is really "hilarious"...
