The bill H. R. 8250 actually seems somewhat reasonable, especially compared to some other state-specific bills that we’ve seen.
No.

Yeah what is this shit
There currently exists no solution I am aware of that is enforceable enough and privacy preserving for age verification.
We are banking on this being non-enforceable. Great. Why are we doing this again? Fuck the people who wrote this bill and those who voted for it.

Ok that means there’s a chance this doesn’t get passed. I hope it doesn’t, this bill is stupid and dangerous in an insidious way.
