"Parents decide act" will ruin personal computing

April 20, 2026 • 06:16

HR8250, known as the Parents Decide Act, proposes mandatory age verification for operating system users, potentially allowing third parties to control access to personal computers. This bill risks undermining personal freedom, creating infrastructure for future restrictions, and represents a significant threat to the concept of owning and freely using a personal computer. Public action is urged to oppose this legislation.
