A petíció címzettje: Colorado General Assembly
As of time of writing, there is a bill that is under consideration in the Colorado General Assembly called Age Attestation on Computing Devices (SB26-051). It is an age verification bill that requires operating system developers to put age checks in place upon making a new account, in order to put said account into an age bracket that restricts the number of apps they can use based on their age bracket. This could lead to security and privacy issues, as well as directly harming open-source developers. A link to the bill can be found here: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/SB26-051
Indoklás:
Roblox has recently implemented something similar to this proposed bill, and it has issues. A major issue is that it has repeatedly put adults in child age brackets and vice versa, as well as the fact that it is easily bypassed, with one child drawing on their face with a marker and being put in the 21+ age bracket (source 1). The only real way to confirm one's age is through a government-issued ID. However, this imposes privacy and security issues, as demonstrated by a data leak that happened after Discord implemented ID-based age verification in October, where 2 million government IDs were leaked (source 2).
The bill claims that an operating system provider "shall not share an age signal with a third party for a purpose not required by the bill," yet the only thing that happens if they break this rule is that the distributor must pay a fine of up to $2,500 for every minor whose information gets leaked accidentally, and up to $7,500 for every minor whose information gets leaked intentionally. For massive corporations, like Microsoft and Apple, this does virtually nothing, but open-source, nonprofit operating systems, like Linux, will essentially be killed by this bill. Additionally, the bill does not state any form of protection for adults who get their information leaked.

This removes yet another layer of anonymity on the internet. We have freedom of speech and thought. This adds a layer that would be a gateway to sharing our speech, being creative, entrepreneurship, and dissent with unjust legislation. While this may be a state bill, basically this would affect anybody who uses a device to pass data across these state lines. This is effectively like the EU's cookies regulations that have affected the whole world. Companies that provide services that end up causing harm because they didn't protect their users should be regulated, NOT everyone or anyone that might ever use a device for their personal interests.
It is a breach of privacy. Parents can be better Parents if they do not want their kids to access adult content. Corporations already have too much information based on telemetry. No one needs to be able to buy my information without my permission, or blocking access if you dont agree to let them take and sell my information. With this bill even more information will be sold to those companies. The information of children will also be sold even if its illegal, because it already happens.

With all these issues with age verification world wide it is best to share our concerns and make it clear that plenty of thought has to go into this first before being thrown out.
