Tell Congress: Don’t Force Age Checks Online
act.eff.org
The House recently passed the KIDS Act, a disjointed internet bill that would pressure websites and apps to determine users’ ages before allowing them to read websites, send private messages, or participate in online communities. The bill now heads to the Senate, where we have one last chance to stop this misguided online age-check mandate.

      Ask people where they are from. The Swede will say Sweden, the Iranian will say Iran and the American will say Texas.

        Americans in the Netherlands will say Canada. Caught a few different groups doing while I was there.

        Sir, it’s very clear you’ve got that Southern US twang, we don’t speak like that. “They treat us so much better when we say Canada”. How about you don’t do that and just be polite.

    I advocate an intelligence check, at least avoid that some politicians can go online.
