I draw the line at when a third party internet-connected service is doing validation of ID. Let’s be honest though, I strongly believe such a thing isn’t possible on a FOSS operating system environment unless they could control what was bootable on the device at a firmware level, enforce signatures to ensure that you couldn’t boot something unrestricted, remove the ability to be root, and block LD_PRELOAD so signals couldn’t be faked. There’s probably more ways to circumvent that.
What I’m trying to say is real ID verification on Linux would be awfully hard to implement, and I guarantee you, nobody would put up with it. They’d fork to a version that doesn’t have it immediately as a protest. Right now, we’re considering implementing something akin to the date pickers that were ubiquitous when signing up for internet services in the early 2000s where it’s just an honor system.
False.
Web Content filtering has existed in some form for decades. This method they’re proposing isn’t going to be any more successful at it than what’s already out there-especially since kids are the excuse not the goal.
It is easy to bypass that filtering. Even on locked down devices. Every site that the filter misses spreads like wildfire at school (until they block that one).
I fully agree with the rest. They are using parents’ cancerns to force bad ieeas.
