It's FOSSA systemd fork has set out as a fu*k you to age verification.

jxvvt@itsfoss the headline is misleading, systemd did not add age verificiation support: https://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_473

spacebug@clonedhuman @jxvvt @itsfoss they already have your real name, email, room number and phone number, so why not also bithdate?
Ah and of course you can just not put any data into those fields just as it is today 🤷🏼♂️😁

draeath@clonedhuman @jxvvt @itsfoss I'd bet that because user sessions are handled by logind, and that is a natural place to keep data about the user.
zetabeta@jxvvt @itsfoss
this is slightly more complicated.
one uploader did introduce a age patch, and it got approved,
systemd reverted those changes.
itsfoss should do better reporting though.
my disclaimer: age verification is still a bad idea.

The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into Linux
Dylan, useful idiot with commit access, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu & Arch, got 2 Microslop employees to merge it, called it 'hilariously pointless' in the PR itself, then watched Lennart personally block the revert. Unpaid compliance simp.
