The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZTeEN2HT0
What does online age verification laws actually have to do with the ENABLING of collecting data from children, China's surveillance and censorship laws, and the profits of companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google? A lot more than you think.
In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down the real agenda behind the push for operating system age verification. From California's Digital Age Assurance Act to federal proposals in Congress, they have come from the same source. I trace who benefits, what laws get quietly gutted in the process, and why the timing lines up suspiciously with China's own digital surveillance rollout.
What you'll learn:
— Why Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta all win if these laws pass
— How age verification effectively nullifies existing laws that protect you and your children like COPPA and the Privacy Act of 1974
— What already happened in the UK under the Online Safety Act — and why it matters for America
— The striking parallels between Apple's product rollouts and China's surveillance
— Why this isn't about protecting kids at all but more about removing the remaining barriers SO THEY CAN TRACK THEMThis is Part 1 of the Plain Meaning 12-part Plain Meaning Special Report. Links to all episodes will appear as they're released.
The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
The rest are coming soon...California's law takes effect January 2027. There is still time — but not much.

macOS is so frequently warning me that this or that app I launch will not be functional when Apple sunsets Rosetta 2 and its Ahead-Of-Time compilation, providing x86-64 -> ARM translation in macOS Golden Gate.
On the one hand, yes, this is a hard driver to get developers to update their app to native and, as such, provide higher performance and peak integration into the latest OS.
On the other hand...I've ridden this CPU platform switch train on the Mac long enough (having been here for every one that's happened), that I know many "little" apps that aren't huge moneymakers or maybe aren't any longer maintained will just cease to exist in on the modern Mac platform when this happens, and this saddens me greatly. Some of these apps I use often, even daily.
I neither look forward to nor praise this coming move from Apple.
