All this age verification crap. Where is the fucking parents? I get that big tech has some responsability in all this. But how about we just make the responsible choice, of not letting a 8 year old near tiktok forinstance? Oh, it is just another excuse for private survailance you say? I see, I see...

    I'm a parent and legit think that majority of parents should not have been parents and have no minimum required skill to raise a human being. It's sad because it's really not that hard but most people don't think a day ahead when raising their kids and just follow a "vibe", so spending a weekend on parental controls is an insurmountable task.

    As usual, the solution is education. Parental education needs to be prioritized imo. That said, I have no idea how we would implement such a thing. Most likely better general education would help at least.

    Just want to clarify that nowhere in the actual law does it require verifying the age of the user. It does not require IDs or face scans. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1043 Please read it. It is a very short law <15 minute read tbh. The law does exactly what you ask for. Parents setup the device and put their child's age. If they lie or circumvent the system then the parents get fined if their child is affected by content on the internet.
