This isn't an age verification bill.
This is device level KYC.
Every operating system would need proof of age which means gov ID + photo for every device connected to the internet.
The lazy default implementation? Gov ID + selfie to Persona. The same KYC Discord and Anthropic just rolled out (yep, we're already moving to KYC for AI).
This makes one giant honeypot for hackers and is a bow-wrapped gift to the corporate surveillance machine (and U.S gov surveillance who harvest data from them).
There's no technical reason to build it this way. We already have zero-knowledge age verification that works at scale, @zkpassport lets you prove you're over 18 without revealing who you are. Data never leaves the device. The tech exists.
But that's not the worst part.
If every device is gated by gov ID, then revoking the ID revokes digital existence.
Revoke passport = digital excommunication.
Actually insane we have legislators considering this.(RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄)
