New US Congress bill proposal requires all operating system providers to verify ages

We've covered here before on individual US states setting up their own age verification laws, and now a new US Congress bill has been proposed for it. If passed, this would then potentially set it all up to be nation-wide across the entirety of the US.

It's being sponsored by the Democratic party's Josh Gottheimer, with it being co-sponsored by Republican Elise M. Stefanik so it has bipartisan support.

If this passes it'll be the deathknell of personal computing.

Hoard what you can now folks because the next phase of the internet/computing will be highly censored, under high surveillance.

Computers will no longer be gateways to unfettered information.

Eventually this will extend to the internet, and almost every website will require photo ID to access.

This has been the plan all along and it is Nazi as fuck.

And that's not nearly all... Phones use an OS, your gaming system runs in an OS, your TV likely has an OS, a lot of appliances have an OS, even new toasters have an OS.

Huge swaths of the individual components comprising the architecture of The Internet have their own OS within the component.

Consider, there’s hundreds, maybe thousands, of various hobbyists out there who distribute pre-configured containers or standalone OS images. There are about 100 different flavors of Linux for ADS-B receivers, usually running on a raspberry pi.

Stupid as fuck. I'm pissed as hell one of ours signed onto to this fucking travesty.
