It is NOT the responsibility of government or large tech companies to police everyone using electronic devices at login.

To prove age, requires proof of identity, then comes surveillance.

We need to preserve freedom.

INSTEAD, it MAY be the responsibility of government and tech companies, to create useful tools that PARENTS can use to determine the level of protection required for their kids.

As a big KDE fan-blort, I want to say congratulations to all the Gnome contributors. This looks great! Personally I'm still very jealous of how clean and free of excessive borders Gnome has.

I hope that they'll expand the parental controls are expanded to include self restriction that can be incredibly useful for ADHD and other neurotypical folks to avoid excessive use of particular apps / features.

Do Not Turn Child Protection Into Internet Access Control

Age verification turns the open internet into a permission system and pushes control away from families, schools, and users.
