This is the most concerning thing I’ve read today. I don’t understand how we’ve reached this point. If people are concerned about the safety of their children then they need to be more attentive parents. This almost reminds me of that time Apple was going to scan everyone’s photos stored in iCloud in the name of “protecting children” but backed down due to public backlash. Except this somehow is codified into law and lays the roadmap out for other states to do the same. Government mandated online verification systems sounds like a cyberpunk fever dream but I guess the US is slowly working it’s way there.
