And what about sites not based in the US? Does it rely on people reporting rule breakers? The FTC and state Attorney Generals enforce it. While on paper it would not apply to sites not based in the US, considering the majority of sites and internet infrastructure is based in the US, it's likely foreign sites would block access to US users unless they give their ID. The wording is so broad that Attorney Generals could nail websites for pretty much anything they consider unacceptable for 16 year olds or younger, hence why they'd have to implement harsh age verification to comply. --- "2001 called, it wants it's message board signature back....." - aarrgus <cite>Bat178 posted [p:979896446] in Internet c...
