New U.S laws designed to protect minors are pulling millions of adult Americans into mandatory age-verification gates to access online content, leading to backlash from users and criticism from privacy advocates that a free and open internet is at stake. Roughly half of U.S. states have enacted or are advancing laws requiring platforms — including adult content sites, online gaming services, and social media apps — to block underage users, forcing companies to screen everyone who approaches these digital gates.



Politicians are humans, just like us (with MAYBE just a larger helping of narcism). They’re also required to work within the law.
I understand the reason I’m getting down votes. We’re in a really really frustrating time. Lots of angry people (me too).
