The proposal is still in a comment period, meaning anyone can submit commentary in opposition to this. Please, please submit comments, once this kind of thing is normalized it will spread like poison throughout our systems and institutions:
The ESRB actually made its request to the FTC back on June 2, but it’s only come to light now (via GamesIndustry) because the FTC is now seeking public comment on the plan. If you’d like to share your thoughts, you’ve got until August 21 to do so atfederalregister.gov.
Encourage everyone you can who you think would care about privacy to comment as well.
It’s a public comment that you’re submitting on a federal site, yes, so that’s the judgement you need to make for yourself.
I personally don’t have a problem putting my name behind my words in this instance, but if you’re concerned about digital information being available there is an option to send a hard copy instead.
Sending a hard copy will still result in my real name being attached.
The last thing I need is to be harassed or worse by someone who thinks I’m a child abuser because I’m opposed to an initiative for “protecting” children. By submitting a comment, I’m putting myself on a list.

Is there any way to direct link to the place to leave the comments for this specific issue?
