In my opinion, the Linux and open source community really should not comply with the age verification bullshit but rather fight against it.

Please don't implement this shit.

This is a slippery slope and more shit like this will come if people don't fight it right now when it starts.

The Graphene OS devs did the right thing and won't implement the age verification bullshit. Nice.

Please systemd devs, reverse course and don't implement this shit, resist.

EDIT: Turns out systemd only added a birthday field, still wrong IMHO, but nothing more. See the link in the replies for details.

GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems β€” group says it will never require personal information

Doesn’t care if its devices can’t be sold in regions that require ID verification.

Tom's Hardware
systemd has not implemented age verification

@d1ss0nanz Ugh of course people use this shit to wage a troll war. For fucks sake....

But yeah I would not even have added the birthday field.
