I really wish they’d stop calling it “age verification”. It’s “identity verification”.
They’re trying to control other people’s children. It’s evil
No, they’re trying to control everyone. This is so they can more easily track absolutely everyone
They’re trying to do both, they’re starting with children because they believe that they should have the right to control everyone’s children and they’re using it as a wedge issue to oppress everyone else. Fascists always start with the people with the fewest rights
Does this law apply to all social media/social media-type sites, or only social media websites under the umbrella of the NetChoice group?
The articles on this are all frustratingly vague. Bluesky is not under NetChoice so I assume all social media sites will eventually be blocking MS IPs?
My understanding is that it applies to every site which hosts any NSFW content, whether or not minors can access it

Extreme times, extreme measures…?
You know the law must be bad if they block Mississippi due to this, but not the UK.
With the UK, they can block content that’s known to be NSFW. With Mississippi, they get fined if kids access the site at all if somebody else on there sees something NSFW.
Jesus christ, that’s even worse.
Didn’t some woman shoot up Google headquarters because of some age verification process on YouTube where she specifically made makeup videos geared toward children and lost all her revenue or subscribers?
