## Summary

The article claims California has passed legislation requiring a digital ID to view social media, though it says how the law would be enforced is still unclear. It says the bill, framed as curbing addictive AI for children, would require identification to use platforms like Facebook and Instagram and would bar companies from sending notifications too late on school nights. It also notes that Apple is rolling out a Digital ID watch, and that California DMV-issued digital driver's licenses now work with Apple Wallet, with half a million people signing up for initial testing. Readers are urged to resist digital IDs by choosing open source protocols and tools rather than voting.

California just PASSED legislation that requires a Digital ID to view social media

New Bill

AI for kids

Disguised as a bill to stop addictive AI for children, the bill would have no way to be enforced without requiring identification to use Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms. The bill has the government acting as a parent, forcing companies to stop sending notifications too late during a school night. [1]

Apple Watch

Equally chilling is Apple rolling out their Digital ID watch at the same time. [2] California’s DMV-issued digital driver’s licenses now work with Apple Wallet, with half a million idiots signing up for the initial testing. [3] However, the only good news is that it’s still unclear EXACTLY how this AI bill will be enforced, will social media companies be required to ask for ID only for California IP addresses?

Resist

I’ve said it before, and I’ll have to say it again: Resist digital IDs with everything you got. And the way to do that is not through voting, but with your technology choices. Use open source protocols and tools that CAN’T enforce it.
