đ¨ Gavin Newsom signed into law new legislation that will now mandate age verification on social media platforms
Newsom signed AB 1709 which prohibits social media platforms from providing âaddictive featuresâ to users under 16. So social media accounts will need to start are verifying users
This is the beginning of America becoming like the UK and ending anonymous accounts
Apparently everyone will not have to submit an ID right now, itâs going to go odd of how your device is setup
- When you set up a phone, tablet, or computer, the OS must ask for the primary userâs birth date or age
- The OS turns that into a bracket signal
- Social apps must request that signal and treat it as the main indicator of age before they turn on addictive features. If they get an âunder 16â signal, those features stay off
So this isnât forcing everyone to submit IDs YET. But you can obviously see the direction Democrats are going
First itâs going to be by the way you setup a device to get you used to it, then itâs going to be mandatory with identification, which means everyone must submit their ID
This is a Trojan horse
