California AB 2273 (Children’s Online Data and Privacy) Signed into Law (techdirt.com)

This is gonna be a nightmare for web hosts. And it's gonna make casual surfing a lot less fun. You'll have to sign up and verify your identity for every single page you visit.

This is great. I'm looking forward to more sensible defaults regarding harvesting user PII data.
