As for Linux, there is no way the kernel is going to include age verification.

There will be certain distros that will. But ultimately the proposed laws are far too vauge to be applicable in reality.

Like, is your roku TV going to check the age of every person that has a profile? What about your smart toaster?

If protecting children: not working.
If constructing social licence for harmful sites to continue harming ppl and with a greatly reduced level of privacy: working perfectly.

It's has everything to do with collecting your biometrics. You can change a password but you can't change your face.

I'm a time when more and more people are waking up and fighting against global oligarchy, the oligarchs want to know exactly who is mounting resistance.
