This is a law FOR PARENTS.
It’s not a law for children, it doesn’t target to protect children from up, but to give parents the tools to set the age of the kids themselves.
Do you have any proof that those systems were created for control? You sure have if you express your opinions with such confidence.


This is a poor wording
That law doesn’t require to verify the age of the user, it doesn’t have to, because it’s a law for parents.
What you’re saying is exactly slippery slope. You’re taking earlier examples of completely different laws, with different purposes and mechanisms, and you make your argument based on how the implementation of those laws worked.
Occam’s razor explanation of DMCA 1201: The law makers wanted to foolproof the law and implemented security measures that weren’t needed.
Also THE only argument you have for the fact thisaw is going to be changed is the law that changed (even if only temporarily) IN A GOOD DIRECTION!
You really made me laugh.
I want to know that too.
I know meta lobbied for app store accountability act or smth, I don’t remember it’s name. They didn’t do that to spy on people, but because they wanted to shift the blame.
