It saddenss me that people jump to implement infrastructure to support age verification in central parts of the Linux system.

It is just a field, they say.

Yes, but the field and the timing clearly points to a political agenda. The developers pushing these changed are either supporting this agenda or cowards.

Not sure what is worse.

But no matter you stand-point, be aware: This is political!

#AgeVerification #SystemD #Linux

The #SystemD infrastructure and API's to support #AgeVerification is a GDPR disaster waiting to happen.

Moving fast and breaking stuff to support this agenda might make a default setup of Linux illegal in the EU.

Prove me wrong.

@pmakholm I can't. I'm too old. I remember the Cold War and the time before the fall of the wall. And the stories that came out about the DDR and the Stasi after the fall of the wall and the reunification of Germany.
