Your post is very misleading.

E.g., Garuda Linux has stated on March 9th they »will continue to comply with local regulations in Finland and Germany (where the servers are hosted and the donation funds are held)«, so their "resistance" is strictly limited to Californian law, not to OS-level age verification, per se.

MidnighBSD has already announced on March 9th »We've implemented about 1/3 of the california/colorado/illinois law.«

Please verify your statements, and retract this post.

If California law enforcement has a problem with that, they are free to block Garuda Linux’s Website in Cali...
