Do you seriously think that this law is going to be used to force Google to do age verification for users before turning off "safe search"?

I can generally see why people would want to filter away adult content from accidental viewing by children. What I think is completely doomed is attempting to keep it away from children that are actively searching for it. It'll just start circulating on USB sticks.

Don't worry, they are already working on a law to make it illegal to use non-government sanctioned USB sticks with built in remote access and bio-metric access control so the government can monitor everything that is put on it and by who.
