       CA’s social media ban weaponizes legitimate parental concerns, using them to hand over more censorship and surveillance power to the government. Beneath shiny “protect the children” rhetoric, AB 1709 is misguided, unconstitutional, and deeply harmful to users of all ages. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/act-now-stop-californias-paternalistic-and-privacy-destroying-social-media-ban

       @eff Can we ban IP addresses that originate from California?

       @eff This is a very tricky problem with no obvious solutions. The Internet is toxic to children AND any mechanism I heard of so far threatens Internet anonymity. Perhaps this modest proposal. Create a Texas styled bounty mechanism that allows people to collect from Internet sites that allow children to see harmful content. Heck, the kids would love this one they'd all be rich.
