Wow this is an unhinged violation of our privacy and freedoms. It’s also sad that this has bipartisan support:

> Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the lead Democratic co-sponsor, signed onto the bill alongside Senators Mark Warner, Chris Murphy, Katie Britt, and Mark Kelly. The bipartisan support means the bill arrives on the Senate floor with momentum that age-verification proposals usually lack.

More disturbing is the push to sneak this into a broader legislative framework as a way to get it through:

> The bill also arrives inside a larger legislative vehicle. Senator Marsha Blackburn intends to fold the GUARD Act into her TRUMP AI Act, which would carry President Trump’s National Framework on AI through Congress and preempt conflicting state AI laws.
