Zaranthos The government isn't smart enough to stop this with stupid legislation like this. If parents won't or can't do their jobs the nanny state isn't going to fix it either. There will be a multitude of ways to circumvent this crap anyway. Kids probably shouldn't be doing lots of things on the Internet, but the government is usually the last one I want trying to fix it because they're terrible at it and usually make it worse. Now a kid will circumvent it, and the parents will have more legal charges against them from the government, and the already probably bad parents will be even less engaged with their kids because they're mired in a quagmire of government meddling in their lives trying to fix a problem in a completely counterintuitive manner.

das_stig I expect this will be challenged as a violation of the First Amendment, which has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to include a right to anonymous speech and the right to receive information. Now what they could do and be sneaky about it, reclassify any traffic coming from VPNs regardless if it originates from an American user as foreign under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which could strip users of Fourth Amendment protections against warrantless searches. Disclaimer, no lawyer but information retrieved from different Ai, and general searches. Reply

Bone61 This literally isn't about kids, it's overreach by certain states (and governments ) that want to control and spy on literally everything anyone does. It's EXACTLY what totalitarian/authoritarian governments do. Reply
