Mandatory age verification for *operating systems*? Are these politicians actually serious? Do they have any idea how technically impossible, privacy-invasive, and utterly useless this would be? My computer won't boot until I show my ID?

Right? Imagine trying to get Linux distros or even old legacy systems to implement that. 'Welcome to Windows 95, please verify your age.' Absolute joke.

This is just normalizing digital IDs at a fundamental level. It's not about 'parental control,' it's about control over us. Every single click tracked.

Oh good, another bill written by someone who thinks the internet is a series of tubes.
