We shared with the NYAG that these types of boxes in our games are widely used, not just in video games but in the tangible world as well, where generations have grown up opening baseball card packs and blind boxes and bags, and then trading and selling the items they receive.
Yeah I’m getting pretty tired of the “everyone must pay the price to protect kids”
Why are kids able to access adult sites without ID? Everyone must prove they’re an adult online to read books with adult themes.
Why are kids able to use installed applications that could have some forbidden social features? Everyone must prove their age to their operating system to use an electronic device.
Why are kids able to access alcohol at their homes? Adults should have to keep their legally purchased alcohol at government approved holding facilities, where they may take a drink after proving their age.
Why are kids allowed to stay out after curfew? Everyone must wear a shirt with their name, address, and birthdate printed after 11pm on week nights.
This is a new trend in law and we need to stop getting tricked into allowing it. It is the parent’s responsibility to be aware of what their child is doing and either allow or prevent it. I don’t want parents spying on their kids and think there’s an element of trust for sure, but I’d much rather have the parents spying on kids than the government and their contractors spying on EVERYONE. It’s ridiculous and infringes on rights established through rigid SCOTUS precedent including Stanley V. Georgia, and NAACP V. Alabama.
We’re a bunch of pansies now that lick the boot with ID verifications online in red states and OS-level requirements in the blue ones. The internet and all of its offspring are not meant for children’s unsupervised use, but it isn’t the public’s responsibility to bear the burden.
