    The law explicitly notes that news media, broadband service providers, email providers, and learning management systems are not covered platforms and are not subject to this law. ​

    There are scope limits all over the place in this law. It’s still a terrible law, but whoever posted it on Reddit didn’t seem to understand much of what they read.

    The real issue with it is the device level age verification.

    EDIT: Link to full text of the law.

    EDIT 2: Looking at the text, a big concern would be for users of MacOS, ChromeOS and Windows because each require an internet connected account (AppleID, Google ID, Microsoft account). These types of account would require an age and ID verification mechanism.
