Here is a link to learn more about the bill.

It is also important to note this legislation also includes language for ongoing, real-time monitoring. Not just verification

Here is a summary from the link shared above:

Requires manufacturers of internet-enabled devices to conduct age assurance to determine a user's age category and provide all websites, online services, online applications and mobile applications on such user's internet-enabled device and/or application store manufactured by the covered manufacturer with a digital signal that such user is a covered minor as well as the age category of such covered minor via a real-time application programming interface (API).

I love the inclusion of the API acronym; all super serious sounding. Like these dumb pedophiles even know what an API is!

You are encouraged to have an opinion about this. It is obvious what is happening here.

Do you have the spine to be remembered?

We are at an epic turning point in human history. Those who rise to meet that standard are today's heroes.

The real world, filled with everyday people, needs individuals who embody a willingness to say "Get fucked!"

If this is your first time learning about heroics, look up information about the "hero's journey". Also known as the "monomyth".

It's okay to be new. What isn't okay is to sit on the sidelines in today's world.

You are alive today. Take full advantage of it.

Here we’re are on a distributed network talking about tech. And agreeing.

I like my records and MP3s.

I like my camera and word processor.

But I agree with you that the Amish live a more healthy life style.

I have a family but if I didn’t… i might show up with my two hands and throw my lot in to that lifestyle. Do they allow books? That’s the one thing I could not live without.

Yes, they allow books. But unfortunately you wouldn't be able to join them unless you hold their specific religious convictions.

My hope is that intentional communities can form that support each other so that they are not subject to strong competitive pressures that practically necessitate anti-consumer practices and the use of modern technology that does more harm than good. The central principles would be belief that doing things the natural way is (almost always) best and that societal wellbeing is largely unrelated to efficiency, economics and material goods once the basic needs have been met. No other religion or beliefs would be required. Through their positive example these communities would influence the rest of the world in the right direction too so that we might not become extinct.

To this end I started https://lemmy.today/c/StopTech and https://lemmy.today/c/ParallelSocieties. I'm working on groups on other platforms as well and trying to start a community in the real world.

Such communities would benefit from grant fund seeding.

As you know, intentional communities were very popular in the 70s and likely align themselves to your values already.

You might visit these and see if they might not provide a foundation for the work your hope to engage in.

I’m all for your vision.

I wouldn’t be reading stop tech if I weren’t.

But as you know… my goals are more humble: get everyone reading paper books and using flip phones and mp3 players and meeting in parks to play frisbee and kick hacky sacks

Unfortunately most intentional communities don't last very long and many are cult-like, overly collectivist or based on (what I would consider) wacky ideologies. There's a few that have lasted and seem reasonable but I haven't looked into them much yet and doubt I would be able to visit them. My ideal has some overlap with back-to-the-land movements but it goes further in that it strives to ultimately get away from the internet, cars, drugs and other modern tech. I'm not aware of any intentional communities specifically trying to do that.
