Google asks Congress to not ban teens from social media

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"...like forcing users to upload copies of their government IDs to access an online service."
"Some states, like Louisiana, have tailored their bills to ban kids from seeing online porn by forcing everyone, including adults, to verify their age before using the site. Google’s proposal does not oppose age verification on porn and gambling sites."
That's terrifying. Signing up for Lemmy would require uploading a government ID. I don't know the solution to this problem, but I'm not confident this proposal is the right one.
If it's from Louisiana, it's probably a bad idea. Except for gumbo.
