So, Congress just followed the same globalist playbook as the UK and Canada

AI to the rescue.

So much terrible shite has been done "for the children" it defies explanation

Is this us winning again?

If I can't get an ID to vote, how can I get an ID to get online?

This is not about info they do or do not have. It's about regulating online speech platforms.

Ignorant statement followed by 'don't worry about it.'

Hopefully the Senate shuts this down, but I'm not holding my breath.

I’m all for child safety.  I’m also all for parenting, supervising, and protecting kids – to include the two minors of my own.  This bill – HR 7757 - under the guise of “kids’ safety,” is just more government creating a vehicle for mass surveillance – ultimately leading to a digital surveillance state that leads to suppression of privacy, free speech, and punitive action against dissenting views - all under the guise of child safety. This is the first phase.  Pretty soon, everything you do will be tracked – and judged – by the government. All I hear about right now are complaints and concerns on this issue; my constituents are all for safety and protection; what they don’t support are large scale ID databases, Central Bank Digital Currency, data centers, warrantless surveillance, camera surveillance, kill switches in cars, etc.  There’s too much government in our lives and too many breaches into our privacy.

BTW – check out the “UK Online Safety Act,” passed a year ago this month in Great Britain, aimed at “keeping children from accessing adult content.” Well, surprise:  the UK’s now using it for “age verification requirements” for adults (who must upload their ID / do a facial scan) to use any social media. Worse yet, now the UK is cracking down on any dissenting views; in this case, IT apparently doesn’t like citizens’ criticism about Islamic migration overwhelming the country. Yes, they imprison people for political dissent there…
 
Our government ultimately will be able to attack dissenters and quash dissent.  Goodbye, First Amendment.   
 
I was a “NO” vote on this last night.

And as per usual somehow it is ok to pick and choose when you need ID.

I wish they would outlaw bots. The entire liberal platform collapses when the echo chamber driven by hundreds of thousands, it not millions, of bots is eliminated. Not to mention foreign influence.
