A new federal bill proposes OS-level age verification, advancing beyond state laws to establish a potential nationwide requirement.

    It feels like a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington display would solve this.

    Just bring everything that has an operating system in it into the room. Cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, tractors, factories, knock off game consoles, literally every server on the internet.

    Show them the ridiculousness of this and maybe we’ll get dragged out by police and charged with contempt of congress

      Don’t give them even better ideas. To you it sounds ridiculous, to them it sounds like “we can ban people we don’t like from using modern technology by invalidating their age verification”

        Go ahead and ban the people who are literally running the infrastructure they’re using

        Will the sysadmins in Congress need to verify their age to use a server?

          Yes. Yes, they will.
