Update, May 11, 2026: Utah has agreed to not enforce the VPN law until Sept. 3, 2026 after Aylo, the parent company of Pornub.com, challenged the law in court.For the last couple of years, we’ve watched the same predictable cycle play out across the globe: a state (or country) passes a clunky age-...

People do not see the bigger picture.

If an operating system is required to implement age verification but does not or cannot, it would be illegal.

People have been arguing that our elected officials do not know how Linux or BSD works. I believe they know exactly how these systems work, and they do not like them because they cannot control, police, or monitor them. Therefore, they want operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Apple iOS, and the soon-to-be locked-down Google Android to be our only choices.

The whole point of this law is to make Linux and BSD — operating systems they have no power over — illegal.

Did people already decided which network would be a good Discord alternative?

Will it be Matrix, XMPP or something else?

Whatever it will be, I hope it won't be another proprietary, business owned, closed network.

this crappy #ageverfication thing is not thought for decentralized networks.

#mastodon is open source, and I think the organisation developing it, deserve some credit.

I think they just want to develop an optional plugin, for instances that both have millions of users (in Europe current laws limiting social network, but not regarding to age yet, are applied just to social network of that dimension) and servers/admin within those countries with bad laws.

If I have a server with open subscriptions in a country that does not force me to do age verification, there's no way on earthI'm gonna even check ip or something else.

My country, my laws, internet

Age verification is spreading like cancer.

First they came for adults site and social media; now they are already discussing about putting VPNs and app stores behind #AgeVerfication 🇬🇧🇦🇺

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!
