Continuing my perusal of Ageless Linux - which I still think is utterly brilliant - they have an interesting argument for not complying with the California age verification law, which is simply this:
- If the OS refuses to collect age data, no children can be identified.
- If no children are identified, no child can be affected.
- If no child is affected, the OS provider cannot be fined.
Or, more succinctly: the data you provide is exactly what the authorities will use to fine you.
They point out that the California Attorney General will likely not interpret the law so charitably, but that's the point - to make them justify this unjust law.
