This is an overreach of the second and fourth amendments

This legislation, especially the intention to construct an age verification API across the internet, lays the groundwork for full Digital ID and identity verification as an upgrade to the pre-existing API that this law puts forth. It boils frogs with sunk cost and begins an iterative process that ends freedom in computing. The best way to stop future encroachment is to stop this initial encroachment.

Also, as a GNU/Linux user, the idea that building an open source operating system myself, without these age verification features, could one day turn into an implication of guilt or a crime in itself. It creates an antitrust crisis where the only "approved" OS is one that has a backing corporation compelled by this law.

You need to get more IT-minded people to weigh in on legislation like this instead of just trying to cram a square peg into a circle hole. This is the beginning of a slippery slope to a rapid loss of personal freedom.

Verifying age at the OS level will not stop bad parenting. There are already ways to set up parental controls on nearly all devices and operating systems and the onus should be on the parents to set those controls up in a way that restricts minors from accessing materials they are not allowed to access. The onus should not be on the developer.
