MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow - Lemmy NZ
>MidnightBSD, a FreeBSD-based desktop operating system, has quietly updated its
README to reflect a new geographic restriction. The project has added a clause
that bars residents of any country, state, or territory with OS-level age
verification mandates from using MidnightBSD
Speaking as a brazilian resident, the law will not be enforced. No such laws are ever enforced here. Everybody openly pirates everything, people sell retro gaming systems preloaded with thousands of ROMs openly online and in physical shops, and the government doesn’t even have 1% of the surveillance infrastructure needed to make enforcement attractive. The law is just electoral posturing and lip service to please evangelical idiots… but I repeat myself.
