  • CA bill No. 1043 age verification

    From bbsing@VERT/LUNAROUT to All on Sunday, March 08, 2026 22:42:35
    Has anyone seen this bill?!

    I hear in addtional to California, other states are adopting similar bills.

    Seems like the defined OS in the bill doesn't consider the general purpose nature of general purpose computers.

    My C64 is going to have problems specially when I receive a firmware update on my 1541-UII :(

    Any thoughts on this.

    Do you think this equates to a form of user abuse?

    i think you're safe.
    it's something real stupid and i'm not surprised. california is the retard capital of the usa now. you dont even have to prove your age.

    If they want to protect children lockup pedophiles for life.
