OS age verification bill announced by NJ representative
(gottheimer.house.gov)
(gottheimer.house.gov)
The linked video in the announcement says the bill was assisted by one of Meta's safety divisions. It regulates apps from the OS setting at device setup. Unclear if this is age attestation on install or ID verification since the video states it's the parent's choice but the article says it can't be set up to just enter DOBs. Bill text or number is not out yet. This is from the same person who supported the KOSA.
Only a couple of news sources I saw covered this: NJ 101.5 (doesn't have link to the announcement), NY Post, and Total News (which seems to be republishing the same thing the NY Post is)
Call your reps. Please make sure this unconstitutional bill doesn't make it through.
the bill was assisted by one of Meta's safety divisions
I think "assisted" in this case might be a euphemism for "written" but this seems to be a common tactic among these losers. They want to be both bookends of the discourse. The accused AND the accuser.

"We got the people who facilitated the Rohingya Genocide in Myanmar to help make our kids safer!"
So yeah this is the newest attempt at the fash to ensure no organization can occur online especially from any youth wing
I don't think it has anything to do with age, this is just "let me see your papers" in digital form.
to ensure no organization can occur online
just this imo
But hasn’t online radicalization benefited the fash most? Particularly with younger Gen Z?
Mainly only male and white gen Z that comes from remaining wealth, most of Gen Z is either not radicalized, agreeable to socialist policies, or just want a return to "normalcy" under something like Obama (i.e. the teenage years for them and the youngest of millennials). It's because of things like Tiktok that made social media easily accessible with live streams of protests that led to another barrier of propaganda removed something the fash cannot repack. Remember that 4chan is not "normal" neither is the manosphere especially with the new Netflix series making fun of it, most folks had Facebook and then that became horrible boomer and rightwing propaganda fed then Tiktok arose and with it a new wave of anti establishment social media which is why the admin has been trying to gain control of it or with folks like Musk buying Twiter.
We should burn down Meta HQ. They'll take this the world over so that they ensure it does not become their responsibility. Fuck you, Zuckerburg.
Dear Iran.....
Burning down Meta HQ won't solve the issue. The only thing that will solve the issue is to abolish capitalism, ban billionaires from existing even if that means forcibly seizing their assets, and give ownership of businesses to the workers who work for them.
Whenever individuals are allowed to have power over others, they will abuse that power in any way they can in order to gain more power.
Baby steps is all I can say
Always be wary when you hear "bipartisan, commonsense legislation", especially when it is announced by one of the most rabidly Zionist members of Congress.
The only 'bipartisan' legislation in this dungheap is the worst sort of stuff imaginable
