Something like 45% of the world’s fruit comes from our state alone.

This is obviously not true. Maybe it's true across North America, but California does not produce 50% of the world's produce.

American produce is not found on the shelves of European supermarkets. Even big franchises like Dominos, they source more locally than that.

China produce the most tomatoes in the world, at 37% of the global supply.

Where most your tomatoes and Artichokes come from.

Pretty sure my tomatoes don't come from California lol.

Lol you know nothing about distribution of anything, apparently. Water doesn't generally travel that far. The supplies you're suggesting the US Military would take aren't anywhere near the US.

All of this is precluded by you using a browser that is authorised and approved by the government.

It doesn't have to be, but the businesses making it claim it needs to be.

Fuck off with your device based verification system. That's just the same service, but as a more invasive app installed on your phone.

Instead of scanning a face or ID and uploading it to a service, we're expected to run unverified closed source code on the device we carry everywhere in our pockets?!

It isn't about protecting children. It's about exploiting adults.

A majority of people, both children and adults, will successfully be exploited by this. Even if it is eventually repealed (which is unlikely, there are businesses set up dependent on this - we can't deny investors their profits!), it's already happening now.

I don't think it's so much one less thing to worry about, rather it gives them some way to argue that they shouldn't be shut down as the result of any lawsuit. But that doesn't mean such an argument would be successful.

Pretty sure it needs a live camera to access. It's less a photo and more a video.
