@nik I’m guessing they don’t want the liability of COPA and similar Acts.

@nik Yeesh. Hopefully this is just a bone-headed, ill-informed mistake

@nik ... as in, young people are no longer allowed to just visit the website and download openSuSE? Wut?

@malwareminigun @nik Typical article 8 German GDPR problem. You need explicit parental permission to handle (note the “handle”, not just “save”) PII of ppl under 16 (and the IP address hitting Apache/NGINX counts as a PII, therefore every website is technically 16+ until someone wants to fight this in court).

@fuchsiii @malwareminigun This assessment is almost entirely wrong.

@nik what the...
It's about this page, right? https://en.opensuse.org/Terms_of_site
This must be a mistake. Or they're totally lost...

@nik@toot.teckids.org dafuq. I get the ban for account creation, but it's also far from an actually good idea. The person who picked up Canonical's Unity DE and maintained it was a minor. Such a restriction could prevent people from doing such things.

@nik I got my first job programming for AT&T at 14. This ban is ridiculous and outrageous.

@nik I wonder where this come from, I recently noticed in Fedora too.
Not sure if it is new there, but in essence you need to confirm that you are at least 16 years old.

What exactly do you mean by “wrong”? Are you saying that that is not what the law actually means?

And the EU Commission recently had the audacity to claim that, and I quote, “In the EU, you have the space to speak your mind without having to shrink who you are.”
Apparently that flowery little speech doesn't apply to young, eager programmers.

@nik Lunacy does not begin to describe this lunacy which is mad and bad and dumb. Not sure which is worse to be honest. Any under age user that stops using the site as a result of the tripe warning is likely not going to be into Linux because that requires a f%^& you watch me do it anyway mentality and frankly is it so stupid it is a non rule and makes stupid people look clever in comparison.

The sooner young people learn to ignore nonsensical bullshit regulations the better.
