    I want him to do nothing.

    He doesn’t work for a distribution or a system integrator. He isn’t the maintainer for systemd either. He’s a random contributor, and he works for a cloud company that doesn’t make or sell the sort of devices these laws apply to.

    These age verification laws did not require Dylan Taylor to take any actions. He did that all on his own.

      So, does the law require this doxxing and brigading harassment or is this something that you’re doing for fun?

        He did it under his real name. His Github username is his real name, with middle initial. He also links from said Github to his .com, which is also his real name. There is no doxxing here, nor is saying I wish someone hadn’t done the thing they did harassment.

        I won’t defend the tone of the article though. I find the photoshopped mugshot and name-calling distasteful.

          There’s a difference between your information being publicly available and people taking your information and spreading it around amongst people that hate the person calling them a traitor and other shit.

          It’s stochastic terrorism, if they make 10,000 people hate the guy then the chances of somebody doing something to him goes up.
