Have you read the law? I have and I disagree.
It's actually an incredibly privacy conscious method of doing what it is trying to do, which is to allow parents to set up a child's account with their age information on a device and have that age bracket information passed to websites and applications. That way, it makes it harder for a child to bypass age-restrictions, but without requiring dangerous age verification methods such as ID or face scans.
It doesn't require any PII to be sent to any servers and in fact requires that no identity information is sent except age bracket data.
It might not require anything more as currently written, but it's a foot-in-the-door. Its acceptance and implementation will be taken as precedent that more compufascism can and should be implemented.
Ok I see you just want to be mad.
What drugs are you even on? Share me your dealer, c'mon. Why would I want to be mad? I'm just look observing the world around me, it's not my fault it has gone to shit.
If you want child control software on your computer, you install it.
Don't mandate anyone else does.
Which means it would be insane easy to spoof in a browser..:
