So, I have actually read the text of California law CA AB1043 and, honestly, I don't hate it.

@ids1024 @drahardja @david_chisnall Honestly, irresponsible for anyone at all.

@ieure @drahardja @david_chisnall For someone who is already an adult, if it just has these brackets it doesn't actually leak the age, only that one is an adult. Though it also serves no purpose.

II'd probably advise everyone to just enter Jan 1 1900 or Jan 1 1970 or something for all computers used by them or their children.

@pkw AFAIK the issue is not the network bandwidth but how much the OS restricts underage users (children). Actually, according to @david_chisnall the #ageverification should be a totally local process, not even requiring network access. @AVincentInSpace

@paoloredaelli

I knew @pkw was talking about developer bandwidth, and I'm not convinced it takes much of that either.

[paoloredaelli@mastodon.uno]

@AVincentInSpace Oh, my! As a #nonNativeSpeaker I tend to miss those subtleties, I would have rather used the term "developer time" or at most "developing resources" @pkw
