it says that, but the action of hardening devices effectively contradicts what it says
to be charitable, let's say that it "enhances" parental controls by taking on some of that parental enforcement at the state level
- gzread 8mo agoWhat action do you mean?
- muyuu 8mo agothe action of forcing any sort of verification or certification on devices or operating systems this is taking the parental control largely into their own hands
- gzread 8mo agoThis law doesn't force any sort of verification or certification, so it's fine then?
- muyuu 8mo agoit is obviously enforcement by proxy, trying to pretend otherwise is laughable but then again so is most of the shilling supporting this legislation
- gzread 8mo agoWhat is "enforcement by proxy" and how does it apply to this law?
- muyuu 8mo agoit is extremely simple for instance, the government can effectively ban you from saying something they don't want you to say by forcing all companies that may provide any substantial platform to you to implement their code speech that way they have enforced a ban on you by proxy the same way they can verify/certify the id of people totally or partially when they go online, by forcing all vendors who provide the systems that you may use to go online to enforce it for them and this law absolutely does that
- gzread 8mo agoSo how is mandating the existence of a parental controls feature that?
- hellojesus 8mo agoDoes it effectively outlaw general computing for minors by requiring account holders to set up accounts for minors where account holders are defined as being 18+? Im honestly not sure; but I could see that being the result of the law and companies like best buy disallowing minors from purchasing hardware with cash for fear of liability.
- gzread 8mo agoNo, it doesn't.
