California's new age rules for sites and apps raise a ruckus

"Websites and apps must estimate the range of age of their user population to determine whether they are likely to be accessed by teens and kids, and implement measures to protect those users."

"This could mean websites or apps will require users to upload government IDs or require facial scans to prove ages"

"The California measure takes effect in 2024, and gives companies 90 days to "cure" their sites of violations before incurring any fines."

The intent may be good (protect the children), but enforcement is invasive and likely to be challenged in court. What were they thinking?

How do they expect to enforce this law for smaller businesses and app creators that have no legal jurisdiction in California?
