Technically, Linux is not an operating system, just a kernel, so I’m not sure how this would be implemented.
See, here’s the big open secret. All these politicians, who make all theze rules? They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. They think a kernel is something that gets stuck in your teeth whrn you eat corn.
That was a 5’19 kernel operating in my mouth, I swear.
Most of them are old enough to remember when politics was invented.
But they do have a clue how laws work, and the element of fuzziness in who’s guilty is a beneficial effect.
That’s my guess. These people have no clue what they’re doing.
