    the bill is intentionally vague. it’s left up to state attorneys general to decide what that means and it requires websites to collect id data to verify age. several conservative politicians have bragged that they’re going to use this bill to go after online queer communities. and the Biden admin and DNC generally support the bill so it’s likely to pass.

      Ah, I see. I think age verification isn’t a bad thing if it were being used to ensure kid’s can’t see sexually explicit things and lie about their age but leaving it vague is definitely a bad thing if it will be used to attack LGBT groups.
