The House recently passed the KIDS Act, a disjointed internet bill that would pressure websites and apps to determine users’ ages before allowing them to read websites, send private messages, or participate in online communities.

I can’t 100% id Canadians, but I can usually narrow somebody to Canada, Minnesota, or Wisconsin. Those blur together to my ear. In fact some US accent maps even call MN and WI as Canadian Accent.
