UPDATE: Censorship bill that would require all operating systems to implement mandatory age verification is now available to read.

The bill is ironically titled the "Parents Decide Act" rather than the "Government Decides Act."

It applies to all operating systems; Windows, Linux, embedded systems, even smart refrigerators.

Developers will have full access to all relevant personal data.

The bill doesn't even specify how age verification will work and instead delegates this task to the FTC, which will also specify data storage/protection requirements.

Law considered in effect one year from date it is enacted and violations will be handled under the Federal Trade Commission Act.

Once again, "child protection" laws like this are the thin end of the wedge for digital ID and, ultimately, a social credit system.
