I don't know man, I see this, which is a simple thing a parent can set on an account: are they a child or not. Or, the alternative, which is everyone has to upload their government ID to some third party site, have it stored for all of eternity, and collated and collected, just so they can access discord, or social media, or whatever.

We will never agree on this since your whole premise is built on a lie.

You are claiming that it's inevitable for the state to govern how we use our devices. When the realty is, that the state does not need to be involved at the operating system level.

If this was actually about protecting kids, then maybe the state should go after tech companies like xAI which hosts a child pornography generator known as Grok.

This is not about that, this is actually a law that will protect xAI, and allow them to continue to generate non consensual pornography including those of children.

If a child sees harmful material like child pornography that xAI generates, somehow that is now the operating system developer's fault. And it's not impossible to imagine in a few years the parents would also be legally liable.
