Don't worry, US states are working on making Linux illegal through age verification requirements in the OS.

Isn't linux complaint because of the systemd change?

  • The only thing that systemd did was add a space and api to store an attested birth date. That is what the entire meltdown was about. A CRUD API.

    Everything else about complying with the wacko age verification law is up to distro builders.

[flagged]

  • EU is currently on its way to introduce mandatory age verification everywhere.

    • If I understand them correctly, the proposals are quite different. The US is effectively requiring the implementation of a third party verification service at computer set-up. The EUs approach validates an existing cryptographic identity that says you are over a certain age, without exposing your identification.

      Please correct me if I am wrong, this is what I read here.
