    The law does not require photo ID uploadsor 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.

    Seems toothless. Good.

        Feels more like they see the direction tides are turning and they want to get ahead of it. They implement the laziest and easiest to work around age verification, and then if down the line age verification is required on a federal level, California can say they already did it.

      I had to scroll way, way too far for this sensible comment.

      I like Lemmy, but people panic and jump to conclusions often.

        Which proves we are no better than reddit users. We are just more privacy minded, but still dumb fucks with a keyboard.
