The Linux age verification shit where suddenly upstreams everyone relies on are complying in advance is just another day of US having disproportionate power in setting standards for tech that everyone then has to follow.

@lunareclipse I wonder how much of this is developers going "eh, it's not that bad, not worth fighting over", versus how much of it is them really having no choice.
Like, if tomorrow California (or more likely the federal US) starts requiring OS to actually spy on their users for the government, will the Linux community put up more of a fight ? Probably, but I don't know how it would play out then.
