Identity verification is a feature, not a bug. They want to know who is consuming "problematic" content. One thing that the article leaves unclear is whether this just applies to accessing the site anonymously or just creating an account. COPPA only applies to account creation, not that it stopped YouTube from using COPPA as a pretext to shut down comments across huge swaths of the site.
Hopefully this leads to an exodus of websites from Commiefornia. Big Tech will never leave considering their communist sympathies, but that's no loss. Strangling those woke dumpster fires will only have good outcomes.
That just confirms that it's about monitoring the content people consume and persecuting anyone who deviates from the steady stream of shit MSM wants to feed them.
Good point. We already have all the tools to stop child trafficking, but it's never used for that because they're complicit. This is just to take away people's right to privacy.
Not only that, but this is fucking California FFS. They allow kids to be exposed to adult genitalia under the guise of pRiDe, so no one should be believe them that this is about protecting kids.
On the one hand it could be used to catch pedophiles or to keep kids away from them
So could having every square inch of your home in view to cameras connected to a surveillance network but I think you and I both agree that is an unreasonable breech of privacy.

And the ADL is supporting it too.

It's easier to block California IPs than it is to comply.
