@meluzzy @tehrealgh5tbusters if they want to add age verification beyond “are you 18+ y/n” on the firmware level theyd need to bloat said firmware by a lot. im talking networking features probably tons more cryptographic shit and everything that drags along; would be a pain in the ass and make computers worse for everyone involved lol

@tehrealgh5tbusters I think they're daring them to try. Do they not know how far states will go for control?

@tehrealgh5tbusters they cant magically hijack all existing and future foreign hardware either

@tehrealgh5tbusters note that i’m not saying a workaround is all we need, definitely fight the fascist legislation every step of the way

Likely because to implement does not require advanced age verification checks, only a basic age selection check to comply with the law

@tehrealgh5tbusters if i'm thinking of the right law, it is not age verification. it is age self-reporting.
