Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought. - tchncs

TLDW: Brazil is requiring OS level age verification by march 17th, 2026. New York about to vote on a law that would “require all manufacturers of internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reason-able and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation.” In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.

Although it seems to be a matter of debate within the Nix community as to the nature and scope of open-source software and what limitations, if any, can (or should) be imposed…

NixCon NA 2024 is getting sponsored by Anduril, what to do about it

Besides the broader policy discussions, I’d like to have a topic on just how to handle the current situation. If you are open to discussing whether it is okay to have Anduril as sponsor or general sponsoring policies, please take that to Should organizations relating to the defense sector being able to sponsor NixOS? instead.
