This is going to be an interesting clusterfuck that should make for some interesting bedfellows (not often that a law is so bad that you’ll find Google and Apple joined by the EFF and ACLU).

Was going to say something similar about the clusterfuck part. That sounds like an absolute logistical nightmare for any small dev team that’s already stretched thin.

This sounds like a headache for Google and Apple, and if I was a small dev I would just geo-block Texas rather than jump through their useless hoops.

I’ve not been in Texas according to my IP for years. Not even for porn, but because I don’t need my ISP making anything off me than what I pay them each month. That’s worth $5 a month to me.

Eh, IF the government had an endpoint to verify ID information, it wouldn’t be too bad implementation wise. … buuuut the modern government doesn’t provide anything any more and every damn dev team on the planet shouldn’t have forced access to peoples’ freaking IDs…

Well doing it themselves would be ambitious for a small dev, which would almost certainly lead to devs using these fly-by-night “verification” companies that you hope are doing the right thing with everyones info.

Yea, that’s why I’d rather the government itself have an endpoint where the hard part is already implemented.
… ok I’d rather these stupid de-anonymizing laws were found to be against the constitution and completely unable to be forced on us…
