### Age Verification Legislation, Digital ID Infrastructure

Multiple legislative efforts are emerging to mandate age verification on digital platforms, including the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and the App Store Accountability Act. These bills would require app stores and websites to verify user ages, likely through government-approved IDs. The ultimate goal of these regulations is seen as the implementation of a global digital ID system for internet access.

The European Union is moving toward a harmonized age limit of 16 for social media access, tied to a mandatory Digital ID system. Proponents argue this will protect children from addictive algorithms and harmful content. Critics view the move as a way for the state to control online interactions and pave the way for the Digital Euro in 2027.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding a Texas law requiring age verification for adult websites. While the state argues the law protects minors from obscene material, free speech advocates claim it creates an unconstitutional burden on adults. The ruling, expected by summer 2025, could set a precedent for mandatory digital IDs across the internet.

The segment links these ambitions to the recent exclusion of Russia from the SWIFT banking system.

A study in King County finds that only one-third of children can tell time on an analog clock. While Dvorak argues the analog clock is an anachronism, Curry contends that learning to read one is a vital exercise for pattern recognition and understanding the physical world. They debate whether this shift represents a failure of education or a natural evolution of technology.
