  • Government in this case is forcing sites to collect PII to verify age not blocking content not blocking content themselves.

    I am working under the knowledge that these age verifications are not theoretical (Its the end game of all the KYC startups from last decade)

    If you are in the south in much of the US these ID checks are already forced and will only expand

    A browser header gives the result without building a Database of people who like porn

    Browser headers also put the responsibility on sites that promote dangerous things to kids (its in your best interest as a site that can deliver porn, things not suitable for kids to check and respect the header from a liability perspective)


  • Sites and services today that we are considering forcing to collect PII (driver’s license) for age verification would be compelled to check the header as it would provide what these laws are chasing in a way more respectful towards privacy

    As far as exploiting children online. My point has been clear that is already happening, TikTok, Youtube, Instagram ALL exploit children online today. They do not face consequences because they can hide behind their TOS this would put responsibility with regards to not breaking our already existing laws back into their hands

    I trust parets. I have kids myself the plethora of tools and systems available to invade you kids’ privacy is great… and those are also even way worse than a header (especially when you consider what they do to work)






  • The laws around advertising are fucked to begin with but the headers SHOULD be used in advertising 100%

    The minor flag would actually remove the LARGE gray area that platforms take advantage of to push harmful ADs and content to kids (Today they just get to play dumb)

    This would actually create a framework to enforce existing advertising laws as well as data collection laws with regards to minors.

    Examples: Minors should not see ads for holsters, knives, ammo, ED medications, Diet drugs, muscle building drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco products, Online Gambling

    These are all things I have seen advertised on YouTube to me; Granted I am not a minor but I am also just using Youtube by going to the site with no account.

    If enough people try to get rid of their Teslas the Used value will crash and bring the New value even further down.

    That was observed when Elon in his brilliance secured the Hertz deal and then slashed new Tesla prices. Leaving Hertz no choice but to dump their inventory.

    The sell off from Hertz hurt the used value because it was a large supply of “We just want out, we already lost money on these”
