I don't think so. I think this is another step in the enshitification process of offering you up to advertisers as a hog-tied roast on a silver platter. You ARE the product they're selling. Apple and Microsoft will welcome this as a good and just means of protecting children and fully support every effort to force users to identify themselves and give the companies all that succulent personal information that they currently have to pretend they don't have. When ordered to hand out that information to every program and website, they will be able to claim they're just following the law. Once every ounce of privacy and anonymity is stripped away, your account will simply follow you around they will simply know everything you do because the OS tells them exactly who you are and you will not be able to log into a computer without verifying your identity.

And the children that are installing Linux sure as hell won't be restricted by any such law they could ever hope to conceive.

If you mean Jesus, assuming he existed, he was a victim of bankers' influence on government. If you mean Simon Peter, he was a fraud and all Catholics are his marks.

I think the pope should refrain from offering moral advice because the Catholic Church does not follow it, because I know exactly how the Catholic Church works.

I mean, really, we should all be calling this what it is: The initial steps to forcing your OS to dox you. The "dox-yourself" laws. Internet ID. Anyone that ever pretended any of these laws were ever intended to to anything to "protect children" is selling you and obvious lie or has fallen for an obvious lie.

Oh look, the child molestation aficionados have mod points. Why do maggots love pedos?

Most parents are crap at parenting so being a parent doesn't show that a person has anytime useful to say about the subject

Good thing all parents are responsible and tech savvy

Yes, obviously. That was done by capitalists. Everything they do is for profit. You could not be more confused about how things work if you had an electronic confusion machine. Actually, now I come to think of it, any device with internet access is an electronic confusion machine... for you, because everything confuses you.

Do you like him because he got a head start on protecting sex offenders by doing it before he even became pope?

The Catholic Church is the world's longest running conspiracy to rape and murder children.

The pope is head of PR for that conspiracy. He also helped protect a molester before he even became pope. Look that shit up.

Until the Vatican releases their list of all the molesters they've relocated, all I want to hear about regarding the rapist papists is the risks from The Vatican.

Nothing could be more bitterly ironic than the child molester protecting, funny hat wearing, wealth hoarding head of a religion based on a faith which tells us that we don't need gatekeepers because god is anywhere two or more people gather in his name telling us to beware stuff that was made up out of bullshit.

It's not age verification yet. The obvious next step is to institute verification because people lie. But first they will spend a bunch of our money proving that people lie, because nothing says representative government like handouts to contractors.

Texas would be, if not for gerrymandering. Florida would still be red, though, due to it being a retirement swamp.

The driver package has drivers and firmware for tons of cards you're not installing.
