Admittedly I stumbled into this on an internet rabbit hole journey.
The guy appears to be a Democrat in PA, but I checked out what he is saying and it does (at least ostensibly) ring true.
Long story short: The You Tuber argues that the government, in the name of protecting children, wants to be able to begin tracking your internet history and make it mandatory for users to have to prove they are over the age of 18 when viewing content.
40 Senators are sponsoring this.
I would quibble with him that most of the sponsors are Democrats, but there are some Republicans supporting this purportedly Orwellian nonsense as well:
Here is the text of the bill:
The YouTuber transparently concedes that nowhere in the bill does it say that websites must collect your driver's license information in order to view their content, but he does make the reasonable conclusion that how else will companies be able to prove you are not a minor?
If this is an overreaction, I will be happy to be schooled on this one. (Believe me!)
I am posting this because I am not sure just how legit it is, but it seems pretty disturbing from my perspective.
