Vote no on this age verification bill. The government has no business forcing operating systems and online platforms to collect age data under the guise of protecting children. This is surveillance, plain and simple. Mandatory age verification creates a privacy nightmare for everyone, not just kids. When every device and website must verify who's using it, we're building a tracking system that corporations and government agencies will inevitably exploit. Parents don't need the state watching their children for them or dictating how families navigate technology. Young people are individuals with their own privacy rights, not property to be monitored. This bill serves corporate interests while stripping away civil liberties. The "protect the kids" framing is dishonest when the real outcome is a massive expansion of data collection and surveillance infrastructure. I'm asking you to reject this legislation and oppose any future bills that use child safety as cover for eroding privacy rights. We need representatives who will stand against surveillance overreach, not enable it.
