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?
Short answer People are stupid. But seriously, even though we have a lot of talk about why Age Verification laws are bad ( for human rights ) and how we can fight against them ( EFF just made a comprehensive guide on the issue ) nobody seems to realize the underlying logical fallacy, or multitudes of them, that even brought us to this point to begin with.
Nobody knows everything. The top scientists don't know everything. The science is incomplete. The GΓΆdel's incompleteness theorems show that even something as basic as math ( which we rely on to understand the rest of the world ) is incomplete. And probably logically dubious as well. We can't know everything.
