That bit about requiring app stores to query an online account to get the user’s age bracket, that really concerns me.
Every app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.
that’s just foot on the door.
Who exactly gains anything from forcing lets say Krita to implement an age check?
Linux will not care, if some corporate distros sell out, no matter. Just spin up any other million distros which are not retarded. Or just gentoo it.
Linux is like that spider swatting meme where the spider gets squished, and then it explodes into a million smaller spiders that run every direction.
another advantage of foss
I didn’t realize it at first, but Pornhub has also been requesting device based age verification legislation.
Nothing a VPN pointed to New York can’t fix.
The California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.
I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

A couple months ago Glock redesigned their pistols to mechanically block the ability for people to stick a cheep part in it that makes it effectively shoot full auto. About 24 hours later someone worked out a way around it.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. This shit will be cracked by the end of the week it goes into effect.
No, it’s not.
