How the hell are they going to enforce this?

The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require “commercially reasonable” verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks.
I hate Newsom but this seems like a non-issue.
If it was a non-issue they wouldn’t introduce this to begin with.
There’s not a single good reason to why an OS would ever need to know someone’s age.
It’s a muddy slope. Watch your step.
Yes but Newsom says funny things about bad orange man, so he’s got my vote.
Will they patch
useraddoradduserto support that?Its parents that are pushing for this stupid shit. I hate that the majority of voters want to implement robust age verification.
Parents who view their kids as property

What even is the point of this then? To make shitty parents feel better?
Move towards removing anonymity on the internet.
Sell data. profile people more accurately.
It’s so next year when they expand the requirements the infrastructure is already in place.
OK Newsom, you’ve lost me. I enjoyed your chaotic responses to the drumpf but you’ve officially lost me.
He’s not even making most of those responses to Trump. His social media manager is doing it. He’s still just another Howard Schultz. “I like the idea of equality as long as rich people don’t have to reduce the rate at which they become richer.”
Realize, this has always been him. He is NOT a liberal. He is a conservative who calls himself a democrat.
He used to be married to the woman that also used to be Trump Jr.’s fiancé.
That’s called a liberal.
I wouldn’t even say conservative, social fascist who hates poor and trans people.
Yup, a liberal.
Yeah, a liberal.
California! Uber Alles!
Are people finally ignoring his paid PR xitter team? It was annoying when my family bought into that trick. Newsom was always a POS.
He is still overwhelmingly liberal and progressive. Calling him conservative is insane.
He is basically as conservative as you can be here in California while holding a state wide elected position and even that may not be true anymore with how things have shifted since the last governor election. Point is he is generally on the more conservative end of Californian politics, hell I know some Schwarzenegger style conservatives who are more progressive than him.
Effective date known yet?
January 1st 2027 per the bill text https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1043
root giggles
Despite signing it, Newsom issued a statement urging the legislature to amend the law before its effective date, citing concerns from streaming services and game developers about “complexities such as multi-user accounts shared by a family member and user profiles utilized across multiple devices.”
then why did you fucking sign it in the first place??
words cannot describe the depths of my seething hatred for the complete, museum grade, massive piece of shit that is Gavin Newsom
Because it’s a metric, a bullet point, and campaign speech fodder. Newsome thinks of his position in terms of a career rather than an office, his job isn’t to lead a nation towards what’s right or wrong, it’s to pander so that he can be re-elected or elected to higher office.
The bullshit way that lobbying groups conduct polling and market research means they he’s chronically out of touch and that his focus is on perpetuating his time in office so he can continue to “represent the people”, making a calling out of bowing to the desires of the mis-informed, outraged, panicked mob he believes his electorate to be instead of actually having a spine and exercising good judgement.
The consequences of shoddy legislation take second place to being able to declare he did something to “keep kids safe”. It doesn’t even have to work, all that matters is having something to wave around and back up that claim. Something to placate the plebeians and let him continue to do what he does best… listen to lobbyists who are lying about what people think.
Why? Because that’s what gets people elected these days. Despite being on a foundation of pure bullshit, somehow it works. So he goes along with it, encourages it, and remains in office as a result.

What the fuck? This is ridiculous and it won’t actually solve anything at all.
Why not parents responsible for their own goddamn kids? Stop interfering with the rest of our privacy for this bullshit. Parental controls have existed for decades. Fucking use them.
Because this isn’t about parenting or children, it’s about a creeping surveillance state
The new California republic seems to be the only people who see this coming
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
When I got deployed to Vegas I thought there would be more gambling involved.
User age required to be entered. There is no verification.
Calm down! It’s just my foot in the door!
