As a silly example, tax software probably has your full birthday, including year, which is more precise. Many social networks collected this data, as did a lot of major tech companies that implemented parental controls already.
Honestly it’s the dumbest thing ever. Best just not to play that game.
> It shifts the responsibility back to parents.
Without these stupid laws parents already _have_ that responsibility.
Where is that actually stated in any law being discussed? If a parent gives a child a device with admin access, that’s their choice to do so. But it also makes sense that we, the minds behind all of this technology, also provide parents with the most basic of tools to restrict a child’s access online and hold accountable companies that knowingly serve adult content to children. That’s all the CA law does AFAIK.
Sure, my generation was raised on 4chan. But I can understand why parents today may want the tools to limit that.
Isn't that what the CA law is?
