I appreciate this. In discussions with lawmakers, one point we try to get across is how damaging these age assurance laws to the economy and personal freedom, by scaring people away from contributing to open source software and making them retreat inside Big Tech's moat. Having specific examples to cite to lawmakers, showing that the chilling effect is really happening and not theoretical, really helps.
