Good. Kids are more important than profits. Let kids enjoy a wholesome childhood for crying out loud. 

You can have all the “parental control” products in the world and they won’t get used if it’s not constantly reminder and dead simple. Most parents are either too lazy or too tech averse to set it up. 

Age verification makes this constantly reminder and dead simple. Kudos to Texas. 

"Think of the kids" -- said by someone who is definitely thinking of the kids every time.

The reality is this is a nightmare for children and their privacy. I hope if legislators demand such a terrible system that Apple provides the best version of one we could get. One that preserves privacy and security of every user.

Actually it's more protective of the kids and even their parents. "think of the kids" can be abused in situations like corporate or government monitoring of everything you do, sure. But this is nowhere near that. This is more like going to the gas station and trying to buy cigarettes when you are 15 years old and being asked for ID. You already need a credit card to use the App Store. 

And Apple is known for being privacy-centric. That's not getting thrown out the window just because they are now being forced to make sure they're authorizing the right people.

Little Bonta isn’t going to do anything. The president has the authority to impose tarriffs and exercise trade policy. Tarriffs ate a trade tool. And he’s using them to get things fairer for America. 

Cook has Trumps number. Just needs to call and provide some assurances. 

Bonta needs to watch Bambi vs Godzilla. 

It isn't "Bambi vs Godzilla" it's "Bambi Meets Godzilla".

Oops. My bad...

You still haven’t answered my question. Trump’s demand that Apple open a US iPhone factory in weeks or face a targeted 25% tariff is impossible. If you’re Tim Cook, what’s your response to an impossible demand? 

Pick a model and assemble here with robots and humans. iPhone SE/Air, or whatever. There are lots of unemployed folks who'd jump at the chance. something is better than nothing.

I don’t think anything has been added yet. It’s talk. Meant to light a fire under someone who appears to be going back on some sort of promise. 

Stupidest thing I e ever heard. There’s no “improvement” button just sitting on a desk somewhere being criminally neglected.
