The Endanger Children by Making Their Personal Information Easier to Obtain for Commercial Opportunities Act

Absolutely thrilled to think of the ways taxpayer money is going to be wasted trying to pass and enforce this.

So if I understand this correctly, the politicians are requiring that every operating system be able to report to the predators whose accounts represent a vulnerable juvenile potential victim? And parents think this is a good idea?

Good question if this goes to ban US stuff in EU outright because could be a violation of the privacy laws.
With the EU/US relationship in freefall, it could be another string attached to the political spat.

Linux/freeBSD maintainers should think twice before jump this bandwagon before find themselves banned from EU and other countries with more restrictive laws.
