If California wants to protect the children they should remove their countries president. Cars have operating systems now, should we age check there as well?

Cars have an age check already, it's called a license.

An estimate of 10-15% of US population drives without a license, and that's just based on confirmed cases.

I made no claim as to it's effectiveness. Just as an age verification in an OS would also have a failure rate.

My research shows 9% at most. Source?

[–] IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

Me ballparking half a dozen different contradicting sources over the past five-ish years. Again, each one is only confirmed numbers, but nobody would announce such a thing, let alone give an honest answer, sooo...

Those are humans who have the age-check, not the cars. A 10 year old can potentially drive a vehicle without a license.

Are you joking? California hates Trump. We can't just "remove him", lol.

This verification reportedly doesn't require ID, just the honor system.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

just the honor system.

for now... "If you build it, they will come"
