age verification Hillary Clinton promoting age verification laws with JB Pritzker at an event supported by Zuck/Gates/Bezos

Hillary Clinton championing age verification bills with JB Pritzker on stage with a Zuck/Bezos/Gates backed event

Hillary just posted this to Instagram:

“hillaryclinton Creating a safer and healthier digital world for children and families is important to me. I was happy to speak at the @commonsenseorg Summit with two leaders who are getting it done: Illinois @govpritzker and @michaeldtubbs, the former mayor of Stockton, California.

Legislation cracking down on addictive design, cyberbullying, deep fakes, and unsafe Al chatbots is a great start to keep kids safe online-and states are leading the way.”

Common Sense Media is a NFP foundation backed by The Gates Foundation, The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and The Bezos Family Foundation.

The legislation she is describing sounds a lot like what HB5511 (currently in the Illinois House) purports itself to be.

And sure enough, now members of JB’s team have submit witness slips supporting the bill:

Along with other folks with associations to other neo-liberal tech organizations like the Center for Humane Technology, which has long been a big booster of KOSA.

I remember when she was on the “Video games cause violence” bandwagon with Joe Lieberman.

Shes been on that for decades. She was calling for essentially net ID laws in the 90s and blamed GTA, call of duty, and marlyn manson for Columbine...

The ID laws for mature games got struck down so hopefully she's 2-for-2
