Are lawmakers bored? Who is asking for this? Not the tax paying citizens.

Parents who are fed up with social media and tech companies taking no social responsibility.

These companies have fewer ethics than a minimum-wage liquor store clerk when it comes to caring about the age of their users.

Parents are lazy and don't want to do what parents should do and cry to the state that they should do it.

Yeah, those parents whose kids died from tainted milk products sure were lazy. How dare they cry that the state should do something?

Will those parents get fed up of themselves not taking parenting responsibility?

The way people ask for things like this is "Young people shouldn't be allowed to do X" and "Websites shouldn't be allowed to collect user data to determine if the people are underage" and so on. The intersection of all the things that "tax paying citizens" want is usually something patently absurd.

Lobbyists for intelligence agencies. It’s part of de-anonymization so you can be punished for speech online. See UK , Germany and Australia

> Lobbyists for intelligence agencies.

I think it's one peg below intel agencies. It's the local gov agencies that want that power. The 3 letter peeps can already tell who writes what, both at scale and targeted.

I mean the entire public and private industry . And you’re right this will empower local law enforcement

Interesting theory considering that this California approach does not de-anonymize you, and the approach Germany is working on, as part of an EU wide effort, also does not de-anonymize you.
