I am in favor of age attestation at the OS level. Children accessing adult content is a serious problem, and "are you over 18" prompts are not a serious solution. OTOH Id verification for every adult website is extremely invasive and lets random verifiers get all kinds of PIID. But the OS attestation exposed with a browser hook means a parent can say "this computer user is under 18" and every adult content provider can restrict their content without having to ever touch even a birthdate. Thats not to say there isn't ambiguity in these laws but the principle is sound and the idea is better than alarmists have made it out to be. If this becomes "every OS has to ID verify with the government", the slippery slope anti-attesters tout, then I'll join the protests, but as long as it's age attestation, I'm for it. To me, this looks like a lot of pro privacy energy being totally wasted on something that is not actually invasive.
