I’m just here to say KOSA is coming and I’ve decided that this will be the hill I die on. I’m not scanning biometrics or uploading my id. I don’t give a single shit what I get locked out of. I know this is not strictly google related but very likely many people will be pissed when they find out they need to age verify just to use a Google account. I’d like to here other people’s plans for mitigation.

    Thanks for posting a reference.

    The bill aims to … disable “addicting” design features to minors.

    Why only to minors? Don’t all people deserve protections from knowingly addictive things?

      This has never been about the kids. It’s about slowly eroding privacy for all of us.

        I don’t know if it’s a good idea to tie our identities to the algorithms we train on our likes, dislikes, and personality. I’d rather it be mandated that ID can’t be attached to something like that.
