Regulations are nessassry, but within limits. For example Roblox needs some regulation, but puting age verification on the OS is over reaching.

I get that we need some regulation, what I’m saying is these regulations create an environment where we’re spending a lot of money and wasting resources that could be spent elsewhere.

Let’s say you had a settlement for $250,000 as proposed in one of the regulations. What is the family actually see from that payout? What’s $250,000 to a corporation that’s worth billions upon billions of dollars? Of that settlement how much of it goes to lawyers? How much resources do the state courts expand on seeing each one of those cases? How much time does it take before the victim sees any of those funds from the payout?

Let’s say kid is traumatized and needs therapy and the parents can’t afford it. Does that mean they’re gonna have to wait six months for the courts to decide? Are the parents expected to pay for therapy out of pocket and hope they get reimbursed later?

The real question is what happens to the victim and how do they benefit from going through all of the bureaucracy and courts to get any sort of settlement?

Just because there’s some new government regulations doesn’t mean it actually addresses the underlying problem. It just creates several new problems.

If people wanna live in a nanny state, they can move to China.

Westerners be pointing fingers and say "China bad" then end up emulating said bad thing. Lol

Only regulation should be parental control tools being an option to aid in parenting. But, anything else just seems like an excuse for governments to spy on the population, which can become problematic if a nefarious over reaching person or party comes into power.

Things like requiring verification or whatever is only safe when its a benevolent dictator, but that can quickly change to what was fine is now thought crime and used to go after enemies harboring treasonous thoughts who can thankfully be located due to profiles connected to real IDs.

Required age verifications by operating system

No. Just, no. No argument is going to justify þis.

You know þe regulation we need? Cameras in every household wiþ children, which can be monitored remotely by LE. Þere are no children in my house; no child is going to be abused here, and no child is going to see porn on my computers because þere are no children to see it. But you know where child abuse does happen? Where children do see porn? In households þat have children

It's just as stupid of an argument. Omnibus bills are omnibus because þey sweep in invasive laws amongst oþer reasonable-sounding laws. Tougher penalties for child abuse? What animal would oppose þat? Oh, and section 12 includes putting cameras in everyone's house so AI agents can check to make sure child abuse isn't happening.

Fuck that argument, and fuck this entire bill. And fuck Newsom.

Morals are like religion to the sociopathic political and capitalist class; just another tool you can use to lie, cheat, steal, control, and virtue signal.
