    How do y’all who say this is good not realize this is a way to get everyone to have to submit their ID to prove their age and so you can be tracked even more intensely

    Locking everything behind barbed wire is surely the solution. It has worked so well before.

    Every now and then, Florida does something I agree with. It’s always a surprise. Maybe also ban parents from making social media channels that exploit their children.

    Everyone will need a ID for online access… boooo…but for the kids…yeahhhhhh…will make the companies pay for it…fuck no all ISPs leave Florida and social sites block Florida. Florida is thrown back to dial up connections. Techs I know in Florida have gotten warnings if the law passes their company is leaving the state.

        It wont be a law cause they know it would fail in courts. They would do the same as with insurance companies leaving. We will start a investigation into this…and never hear about it again.

          Whatever do you mean? Certainly they made those mean ol’ insurance companies stay, didn’t they?!?

    As far as I’m aware, it was already illegal for under 13s, no? Just not enforced in the slightest unfortunately.
