Impressive, particularly by today's standards.

Tracking CO2 levels seems like a pretty boring hobby.

It is not reasonable to advocate for ADB if the 24 hour wait is too long.

I'll copy what I wrote elsewhere. Fraud uses social tactics and legitimate tools in the vast majority of cases. Developer verification will have absolutely no effect on that.

Impinging on my property rights cannot and will not protect or help fraud victims.

That's because most fraud uses social tactics and LEGITIMATE tools/software.

Impinging on my property rights cannot and will not protect fraud victims.

And because it gives multiple groups extreme power and influence over many things.

And because those groups clearly crave that power and influence.

The internet is the new public sphere and forum, and it should not be possible except through legal judgement to bar or hinder anyone from accessing it.

If necessary, create private gated networks for adult material.

Anyway. You're clearly entrenched for some reason, so I won't waste my good faith effort any more.

Its already illegal to show adult material to minors. If they were about enforcing laws properly they'd just do that. For instance a court ruling that adult material isnt allowed on the internet, since you can't effectively ID visitors.

Anyone could just make a fake ID though, so what did they do? Make creating fake IDs a crime. If we can lie about our age to the OS, they'll make it illegal to do that as well.

This is an obvious move to reduce computing freedom.

All I can do is encourage you and others like you to ponder upon:

Google is trying to force all devs to have verified identies

Google and Apple and Microsoft already ban applications they simply don't like (violates their "policies") from their app stores

There will be attempts to close the holes when they come to the attention of "stakeholders"

The UK already wants to ban VPNs

And the aforementioned, you can't really enforce laws or policies like this without locking down the OS and hardware.

There's probably more indicators of what's coming down this path. It doesn't look good.

There is already a pre-existing push to bring attested computing to Linux.

The California law is not the only OS level age verification law passed or in the process of passing in the US.

One wonders if you're being intentionally obtuse.

Once that door is closed you can kiss 90% of what we love about computing goodbye.

They will solely be marketing and advertising platforms which you increasingly MUST use to interact with institutions private and public.

And by the way they'll be spying on and profiling on you even worse than is happening today, all fed into digital identity silos sold to anyone who wants it, including governments. Governments you like, and governments you don't.

How will that be accomplished?

How will these laws be ammended in the future?

Yes, I'm sure there's absolutely nothing you're doing to engender the general atmosphere of distrust...
