Well this is truly bad. US national level OS-level age verification bill. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250/all-info
The text of it isn't out yet.
EDIT: Well the text is now out and it's as bad as you could imagine. It's not even just that you need to verify your age to access a website... operating systems must verify your age to let you use a computer at all
EDIT EDIT: Thanks to @Andres4NY for pointing out that it also holds responsible anyone who has any software shipped on the operating system of a computer, meaning FOSS developers eveywhere
