It seems obvious that having Apple, Microsoft and Google collect and verify age anonymously is better than some weird third party service provider like Yoto.

Not saying I agree with this law. I think I would structure it that age regulated content requires this signal from the device provider in an anonymous format as an opt-in to age regulated content and not as a requirement for every single computing device.

My biggest problem with the bill is the attempt to sweep in all devices/operating systems.

Make a new legal category for voluntary kid-friendly devices and draw regulatory borders around it, if you must, but leave the rest of us out of it. Then encourage parents and schools to limit kids to those devices. There would still be problems with this, but at least it wouldn’t impact the free speech, privacy, or free association of adults.
