MidnightBSD is not taking any chances with age verification.

@itsfoss setting a good example. Also, this whole age verification thing will be a impressive implementation into TailsOS.
@vinterkarusell @itsfoss it could go either way, where they block, or implement a system that achieves verification in a good privacy preserving way that others adopt.

@el_haych2024 @itsfoss information should be free. For everyone, regardless of age.

@el_haych2024 @vinterkarusell @itsfoss The way this system is supposed to work is mandated by law, and by definition, it cannot respect user privacy. First, they force OS developers to implement an API that exposes user data. Then, with each passing year, they increase the amount of information that API must expose. This is a pretty clear case of black and white. There is no middle ground.

@munigant @vinterkarusell @itsfoss yeah, and that's not the world we are living in anymore, so it has to be made as painless as possible

@munigant @el_haych2024 @itsfoss I agree with you. It's all masked as to "protecting the children" ..

@vinterkarusell @munigant @itsfoss and what protects children should protect adults, something the implemented systems do a poor job at doing

@el_haych2024 @vinterkarusell @itsfoss That mindset is incredibly, incredibly dangerous. When things are going to shit, and the majority of us just sit down and say "Yeah, we better learn to live with it", then we are in trouble. The end of anonymity is the end of the world any of us grew up in. The technical possibility to do this is the problem, not the execution, not the intention. It's the mere existence of this technology.

@el_haych2024 @vinterkarusell @itsfoss Explain to me a way where you send your age information without sending your age information hahaha. Your age is private data that will be abused hahaha

@el_haych2024 @vinterkarusell @munigant @itsfoss Why do you think that will in any shape or form protect the children? It will make it easier to actually profile a child...

MidnightBSD is not taking any chances with age verification.
MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow
Colorado, Illinois, and New York could join the list if their proposed age verification bills pass.
It's FOSS (itsfoss.com)
@itsfoss as a developer in Brazil another reason to get off this hellhole. Im now afraid of contributing to OSS because I can be fined or arrested for writing code... Yay. And yep, nobody is talking about that here bc this country is hell.
As many other laws here, this one is as vague as you can expect and encompass anything and everything... Not just OS and AppStores.
