The funny thing is that by January 7, all the bros screaming “I’ll never use an OS that asks my age” will have switched to an OS that asks their age because they can’t go a week without their porn.

Some of them might know how to use a torrent client though.

You’ll get age-gated in a heart beat.

They’re going to put age verification on pirating too!?

Well, very possibly.

That’s actually a funny consequence I hadn’t thought of. A media company could go to a pirating site and then file a police report claiming neglect of child protections. That could really start to spiral quick…

Yeah, currently it is perfectly legal to host piracy sites.
