CA’s law isn’t age verification, it’s an API to return the age bracket for a kid to app stores, the article correctly notes that it won’t be verifying anything.
Unlike the lootboxes you think kids should have unrestricted access to, I’m sure the corporations will be satisfied and won’t push even worse technology on kidsm
Don’t put words in be to my mouth you filthy liar.
Lootboxes should be straight up banned, along with all other online gambling , which has become a bigger scam than crypto at this point.
If you are mad at gambling, you don’t focus the government to track the speech of everyone through a slow-boil process to make it socially inevitable that our fucking retinal scans are uploaded to a central government database that tracks everything we post online.
Just ban the gambling. It should never have been allowed. That’s the legal protection you need.

Lmao have you actually read what the law actually says.
Its demographic data; if the apps themselves have any access to it at all, it will be misused by advertising companies to see if they’re attracting kids (assuming people are actually truthful; i was totally 18 when i first looked at porn, trust me bro).
You’re forgetting that the parents are more responsible to their children’s safety. Don’t be like getting your 13 yr old gta 5.
Easiest thing to do is buy an off the shelf solution for your win11 device to restrict and monitor.
Did you read the same article or law?

It’s “foot between the door”.
Once this has been established as “normal”, they’ll slowly pile on more and more restrictions.
Better to call out this bullshit know instead of mindlessly agreeing.
Fuck that was the best episode in the season…for the wrong reasons.
IMO it’s Better to support a good initiative than supporting corporations by mindlessly believing all the fearslop generated to protect them.
It’s meant to manufacture consent.
Come back in 5 years and see if they’re still satisfied with it.

Hear me out: maybe just maybe parents could show some fucking responsibility regarding their children and access to the internet.
Quit pushing “help the children!!” propaganda man.
Hear me out a non-invasive API isn’t some terrible invasion of privacy, you already send user-agent strings to servers.
Quit believing all the fearslop you see online man.
Yeah last I checked we’re in the middle of fascist takeover intertwined with the technocracy. Do you even believe your bullshit?
And yet here you are fighting to defend corporations from regulations, somehow thinking you’re not on the side of facism. 🤷♂️
The corporation of volunteer contributors to the FOSS community?..
Lemmy/redditors can be dumb, the article actually made it very clear the law doesn’t require verification and isn’t that big of a deal.
Stop fedposting and take your fucking meds
You debate like a Hutch viewer
Lmao Lemmy users proving they are in fact dumber than AI and when confronted with a mass hallucination will call everyone a fed 🤣.
The more deranged you post, the more I’m convinced restricting 13 y/o s access to the Internet (that this law doesn’t do) is a great idea.
I don’t actually. That’s why I use ad block and Librewolf.
They still send user-agent strings.

To tear a company to shreds for getting kids addicted to loot boxes you first have to show they know their targeting kids.
This isn’t about porn, it’s about app stores & Roblox.
