I wonder if this would be challenged as a 1st amendment issue. For everyone in Illinois, they will be denied government digital resources via compelled speech.
Of course, I don’t expect any sane response to this. If anything, I expect .gov sites to start requiring a selfie with the president to prove your patriotism.
You don’t have a Trump phone? What kind of filthy traitor are you?
I’m cinnamon flavored if that helps
Please insert identity verification probe.If a local ‘date of birth’ field defaults to ‘18 and up’ if unset; the bracket is communicated using an open, standardized format; specification is on a trust-basis, without external verification required; and the field automatically unsets upon turning 18; I might not be that opposed to an implementation like this.
But without a requirement for legal presence within the state of Illinois, any application developers without it, cannot really be held liable for any infringements on it. Bad actors might also learn which internet users are of which age bracket, and this all might be the beginning of another very slippery slope, where requirements keep building as a result of misuse and/or ineffectiveness.
I assume this is so the paedophile president can stalk users by age, cause it definitely does nothing to protect kids
I don’t care about this issue because I don’t have kids /s
Good.
OS level age gating is the best possible solution. It means a parent can simply set an OS level account as a child’s and that’s it. No IDs, no verification process.
Then the simple and least absurd answer is to make it optional for the client and mandatory for the server to respect it if it’s there.
