When was masking advised for just staying at home with family? Anyway, this is why intensive air filtering is advised in places like offices and other places, or indeed avoiding that mess altogether and working from home (which was also decried as some draconian measure by executives that hated the idea of workers feeling entitled to safety or distance from oversight or not making use of the dismal cubicle space they paid rent to an office park landlord to use).
New Federal Bill Would Bring Age Verification to Every Operating System in America
Congress considers H.R. 8250 requiring age verification on all operating systems, potentially restricting internet access for unverified users.
Regulate everything except the corpos causing the problem.
And god help you if you disagree with this legislation, or someone will call you a supporter of paedophiles.
Which is really annoying, because this sort of legislation is some of the shittiest legislation ever invented for the digital era. There are a whole basket of these sorts of laws, and they are basically a licence to hand $$$ to big tech, and to completely fuck your privacy rights and digital security.
Mandatory age verification has the function of making services that respect privacy illegal, and that means that corporations that don't respect privacy will not have to compete with even the theoretical possibility of services that do respect privacy. It's like mandating safety equipment in sports, except evil.

That's what the gold standard in medicine, Cochrane, says and always has said.
Works against droplet-based diseases, covid and common colds are airborne.
You do realize before people made masking political, these were the type of discussions and articles written about masking. There were hardly any good studies done during covid so the science literally couldn't have progressed much beyond say this article.
Unmasking the Surgical Mask: Does It Really Work?
For a century, the surgical mask has been the symbol of a safe and sanitary medical environment. The problem is that researchers don't really know if that's true.

I'm just saying the places masking was enforced didn't do anything. Masking would be possibly effective in rare instances. How often are you with people for say like 30 minutes at a time? You're either with people for very short periods like a store (which you're not going to catch anything regardless of mask or not) or very long periods (which you will catch something regardless of mask or not) like home, work, school, friend hangouts, etc. That middle area of being with people where a mask might actually help aren't at all commonplace. To act like masking was going to make any significant impact on covid spread was completely illogical.
Their backgrounds stand out. And not in a good way, AP investigation into ICE hiring spree finds
The U.S. president put a premium on swift action, and for ICE that meant rapid-fire recruitment and hiring, which in turn led to new employees with questionable qualifications.

Maybe just deliberately cripple Linux so hardly anyone uses it. Seriously.
Whilst I'm sure there may be some genuine belief in child protection somewhere, I would not be at all surprised if ulterior motives were more important.
For big tech, verification systems form ways for them to capture revenue. Verification systems create a barrier which require systems and processes to pass, and someone has to be paid for those processes and systems. That will inevitably be dominated by the major players with resources and economies of scale, and impede organisations without. Secondly, some verification systems will create a way to collect information: you will have to announce yourself wherever you go on the net to gain entry, which makes you much easier to track and collect info on for corporations and government agencies.
They probably would be looking at this and rubbing their hands with glee.
I've no idea about hiring for ICE, but I know about student recruitment to universities, and one of the most reliable ways to increase admissions is to drop the entry requirements.Nonsense, they excel in the qualities that matter to the adminTheir backgrounds stand out.
