    While I know why the Texas government would want to make sure children are exposed to nothing but official state propaganda, hopefully an unintended consequence of this is to put a massive hole in the monopolistic mainstream social media userbase since the uncontrollable web including the fediverse would be the only alternative in these states.

        Or: ✅ are you a parent who gives their child permission to access this site?

        This reminds me of those website ads that’d tell you to ask your parents first.

      …How is this even possible to enforce? Are they going to make websites collect scans of everyone’s ID like what PornHub was protesting?

        The social media provider must “verify, using a commercially reasonable method” the person’s identity and the relationship to the minor.

        You cam do that through credit card probably.
