Many more US states are planning or already have operating system age verification laws

We've already covered how California has a new operating system age-checking law coming into force next year - but many more US states also have plans.

In a blog post Richell notes that the New York version as far worse since it "explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General" and so developers of operating systems and devices would have to have more than just your date of birth to put you into some age bracket like the California law seems to allow.

These types of laws seem to be popping up around the US. How long until this plague spreads to other countries?
