How about no
Tbh I’d rather have passkey style local age verification than trusting every random company with my PII.
Title is inaccurate clickbait as well. The proposal is for the operating system to confirm what *age range* you’re in without actually telling any other service your real age.
>The age signal does not hand over a specific birthdate to developers. It works in four age ranges — under 13, 13 to under 16, 16 to under 18, and 18 and above.
Dumb people making dumb laws.
Anything but responsible parenting
I’ll protect my ID from the Internet better than any of these people protect their kids
> The bill also explicitly states that only the minimum amount of information necessary should be shared.
So, all of it.
Keep dreaming Colorado! I don’t think you understand what you’re asking lol
Man 13 year old me was running open source just like I am today. Still have a windows desktop but that can change too. I like how it says including Linux like that’s an operating system not a kernel thousands of OS’s are built around. Even if they got IBM/RHEL buy in that’s only the fedora side.
We do not want that. A couple idiots in our state legislature want that
I will go amish, I swear to god, I can and will go amish. I have five different consoles, an old tv, there’s a used video store in my town that’s immensely popular, I do not need internet, I do not need your ass to track me. I can live in a cellar in the middle of a field run by a generator with a septic tank for the bathroom. Do not doubt me.
If your kids‘ safety was so important to you, you would teach them how to act online and not expect the whole world to bend around for them.
We’re pretty much in hell at this point
I’m confused. How can this apply to linux? Isn’t it open source? Can’t people just keep using the versions of linux without it we have today?
Can they even force this onto Linux? I really don’t know which is why I asked.
Can’t we rely on parents to monitor their own kids? Roughly 80% of the US population is 18 or older, why do we need to change everything for a subset of the population. We don’t need any more privacy invading technology that likely has ulterior motives anyway.
Lol good luck with that, literally impossible to enforce this on Linux
What a terrible idea and Coloradans should shame the morons that keep pushing these kinds of laws.
F off with this bs. Big Brother state crap.
No. Next topic.
Heaven forbid if some boys under 18 tries to enter 80085 into Microsoft Excel as part of his homework assignment…
Two Democrats introduced this crazy ass bill. They’re proving that both sides are in fact authoritarians.
How disappointing to learn that the State senator for my district authored this. Definitely going to be sending an angry email and remembering this for the next election.
Eventually they’re going to adopt the South Korean system of everyone having their government id connected to everything they do online (I know the law was overturned but it’s still very common there)
I will be a devil’s advocate. Obviously I’d rather have no age verification whatsoever, but if this is indeed where policy is headed (sadly), I’d rather have the age (and ID) verification be in a few trusted authorities that I’m able to choose rather than every app trying to collect its own set of PII (with questionable security)
If lets say my bank verifies that I am indeed above 18 through an OS integration, then all apps on the OS should just trust my bank’s API and trust that my bank did all the due diligence needed to verify that. Then my PII only lives with my Bank and not with every single App.
Excuse me if this sounds dumb, but wouldn’t it be „easier“\more effective to just not make such apps available in the first place?
Shouldn’t the ***primary responsibility*** lie with the service providers\platforms\app stores\developers?
The more of this that TPTB try to force on us the more anti natalist i become. Can we demand yearly parenting classes so that we all know the sperm and egg donors of these special ego babies that we have to jump through all these hoops to protect are doing thier best to raise and care for them properly? How about a license at the very least or some kind of certification requirement, something beyond a functional reproductive system yeah?
Most of that is said in jest beyond the first sentance but damn these people light my fuse.
I’m honestly picturing a bunch of angry sledgehammer wielding Linux users that thought they were safe from this by not using Windows, but apparently not, so they threaten to destroy their PCs 🤣🤣🤣
Polis sure loves his billionaire tech buds, so I’m not surprised
Our government is obviously retarded, it’s bad enough someone can identity a minor by user behavior and now they want concrete age ratings?
What purpose is this actually solving when compared to the product value?
Overreach of government IMHO.
Vote no on this piece of shit.
The US can go pound sand
