If you live in Cali, please call Newsom and make your voice heard.

TL;DR of this bill is that it would require age verification at the OS-level, then requires the creation and implementation of a standardized API for the OS to communicate the user’s general age group to app stores, apps, and websites. It’s at least a smaller attack surface since you wouldn’t give your ID and face to every app or website you want to use… but come on.

Do you really want to give your ID to Microsoft, Apple, and Google? Or maybe Samsung and OnePlus? These are just the tip of the iceberg. Are you ready to have your age verified by Roku? What about your TCL smart TV? You want to watch R and M rated media, right? Or what about your Kindle?
