    “Outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age…

    To me that reads similarly to age restricted websites asking you to verify your age before accessing it, where you just input a date that says you’re old enough and then you’re set. I’ve been 99 years old for the last decade. Given what they’re trying to do, I wouldn’t be surprised if they use more extensive verification measures, but I haven’t read into that yet. If it’s just an age/DOB input, then it’s not really outlawing anything.

      Except those same websites are now being forced to verify age using photos or government ID which will definitely be required in this case as well
