Age Verification for Internet Access is WRONG with Ben Gillenwater

Ben Gillenwater is a parent and family advocate and educator in the technology space and created Family IT Guy to help families understand the risks and solutions with internet connectivity. Recently many countries have started engaging in government run age verification to allow access to social media or sensitive material like pornography. I initially thought this was a good idea, but Ben came in to explain why this is likely the worst possible option for America and Idaho. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
