Minnesota Pandering to Conservatard Faux Child Protection with Dumb Proposal
Banning user generated content from under-18 year olds, ummm who determines what is UGC?

Internet is full of UGC. I can start a web site and that is effectively UGC, so does that mean my website now needs to be approved by the state? How about validation of users and that they aren't a bot for that matter?

Yeah, that's right they are proposing to ban under-18s from social networks, games and anything else where User Generated Content is. The industry will destroy bills like this because they are impossible to enforce without a China style ID verification for each citizen who wants an account on any service.

Look, fuck Minnesota and fuck the Conservatards with their "child protection" fetishes. Child protection is bullshit. They know this will not get anywhere. It's just another bill to pander to these raging morons who have no clue what freedom means or entails.
