Assembly Bill No. 1043 of the State of California forces every operating system vendor to implement an age verification system on "account setup". I guess it's time to break the text of it down and rant a pissed-off rant about how stupid it is. Shall we?

    ‘Age verification’ is a thin pretext for the real purpose: mandating an API that allows remote access and control of the operating system.
