Beyond dumb. I had communicated with adults even in their 50s when I was 13, and never did anything happened, besides sharing love for making mods for games? Like, the better solution is education on online interactions.

Plus, this makes it easier for preds to find victims anyway.

    They need to run that train backwards and bring Terry back to life to a huge pile of skrilla if they want the OS my kids will be raised on to report anything.

    Every operating system!?

    So who is going to come out and update the operating system in every smart tv, every web-connected fridge, Internet routers in every school and home, the obsolete consoles (Nintendo 64, PS2) that were passed down from the neighbour’s kids?

    That's the thing, though. This is the best governor this state has had in modern history. Pritzker has been on the money when it comes to almost everything. No idea how he missed the mark so badly here.

    personally can't wait to identify thousands of children and reference them with data from google and meta to identify where they live and their identities only to use it as evidence against the state to build a lawsuit.

    Good thing there aren't any operating system vendors actually operating out of Illinois.

    Look, it makes sense. If you're trying to convince a child on the internet to send you pictures or have sex with you, you want to know they're really a kid and not some FBI agent pretending. Having operating systems that report users ages and having a way for anyone to see that reported age for everyone online is a good practice.

    The bill only covers operating systems which integrate with cloud services. The bill is designed to target what it calls "addictive" feeds and services. Linux distros don't appear to be in scope. Yet again cm0002 is demonstrating an inability to read the actual sources.

    Can't seem to find that video of that guy that shilled Illinois to hard. I wonder what he thinks of the state that invented computers is now using computers as panoptics.

    Privacy by design should beat age surveillance. We need Authentiverse with data minimization.
