I wonder how things like computers at the library will work. This whole thing is just so stupid and intrusive. I can't imagine anyone will benefit from this except advertisers, doxxers and Big Brother.

You're not really going to be watching porn at the library though, just saying

Age checks certainly won't be restricted only to porn sites. Tons of sites have 13+ ToS like Facebook & the various other social sites, Discord too iirc. The reason people are so adamantly against this proposal is that it ties the machine to a particular identity. So how does a public computer work? If age verification is implemented at the OS level, can we even have public terminals? All those interfaces in stores that are just a website in kiosk mode? Would they be illegally representing end users if it's set as an adult on a master account/login? This proposal is so stupid and poorly thought out it's alarming.

In fact, many libraries have computers sectioned off in semi-private areas exactly for this reason...

		Are you sure that's a library? I mean we have places here like that where you can insert some coins for a private viewing cabin but we don't call them libraries :)
