the action of forcing any sort of verification or certification on devices or operating systems

this is taking the parental control largely into their own hands

This law doesn't force any sort of verification or certification, so it's fine then?

Does it effectively outlaw general computing for minors by requiring account holders to set up accounts for minors where account holders are defined as being 18+?

Im honestly not sure; but I could see that being the result of the law and companies like best buy disallowing minors from purchasing hardware with cash for fear of liability.

No, it doesn't.

it is obviously enforcement by proxy, trying to pretend otherwise is laughable but then again so is most of the shilling supporting this legislation

What is "enforcement by proxy" and how does it apply to this law?

it is extremely simple

for instance, the government can effectively ban you from saying something they don't want you to say by forcing all companies that may provide any substantial platform to you to implement their code speech

that way they have enforced a ban on you by proxy

the same way they can verify/certify the id of people totally or partially when they go online, by forcing all vendors who provide the systems that you may use to go online to enforce it for them

and this law absolutely does that

So how is mandating the existence of a parental controls feature that?
