Comment by andai | original | California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law

Well, maybe cigarettes were a silly metaphor -- can my kids still get their porn at the Linux store?

Are the gore websites gonna have to ask for ID now? What about 4chan? Or is the whole point to get rid of all that stuff and just get everyone using Facebook instead? (They're the ones who pushed these laws right?)

I'm honestly trying to understand what the big picture is here.
