Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
This is step 1.
Final step: Scan your passport to verify and populate the date of birth field.
It already has fields for personal information, though, and they’re every bit as sensitive as your birthdate. realName, emailAddress, location, and timezone are already in there. The important part is that they’re all optional, and you don’t have to fill them in at all, or can fill them in with fake data. The system still serves you, not some outside party.
But the timing of it does have a lot of people freaking out about it.
I now fear it will one day be required for services on the internet (as it is by a rescent law in Calafornia). I want to make that less uikely, and more difficult to implement.
Having a principle the majority do not have and refusing to participate means being another step further out of society.
