California just PASSED legislation that requires a Digital ID to view social media



Disguised as a bill to stop addictive AI for children, the bill would have no way to be enforced without requiring identification to use Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms. The bill has the government acting as a parent, forcing companies to stop sending notifications too late during a school night. [1]

Equally chilling is Apple rolling out their Digital ID watch at the same time. [2] California’s DMV-issued digital driver’s licenses now work with Apple Wallet, with half a million idiots signing up for the initial testing. [3] However, the only good news is that it's still unclear EXACTLY how this AI bill will be enforced, will social media companies be required to ask for ID only for California IP addresses?

I've said it before, and I'll have to say it again: Resist digital IDs with everything you got. And the way to do that is not through voting, but with your technology choices. Use open source protocols and tools that CAN'T enforce it.
