It just feels like a way to standardise parental controls.
Then focus on that instead of pushing age laws.
And we all know this “Think of the children” is never about the children.
Next will be compliance through secureboot and TPM.
Someone else had brought up in the past few days that parents either don’t know that parental controls like this exist. Or they don’t care.
This law puts that age setting front and center and allows apps, like Discord, so say “no <13 year olds”. I think where this maybe gets tricky is if an app says “only <13 year olds”. As like people have said there is nothing stopping people from lying, and that is a two-way street.
No. All this law does it promote more data collection and impose more restrictions.
They don’t care about the children and, even if they did, it’s the parents’ job to parent them.

Isn’t this an example of pushing for standardisation of parental controls?
Standardization of optional parental controls (and accessibility while we’re at it) would benefit most linux distros imho.

Leaving it to parents is the reason why we are in this mess.
What reason is that? What mess? I don’t give a shit what other people’s kids do on the Internet.
