No they’ll just rule that services need to verify age; and since Linux doesn’t do that now it’s incompatible with the services people rely on.
This exemption is no better than the Winona councilman who interviewed with CNN and heavily implied that all they had to do was wait until the people moved on from caring about flock cameras and then “it wouldn’t be a problem anymore”.
They don’t give a fuck what we want, they want to implement verification as a stepping stone to real user ID and they will let Linux fall into irrelevance if it doesn’t comply. They think you will all calm down now since they appeased you with their “exemption”.
are they going to keep the exception if everyone installs linux now
Yes, but they’ll rule that using free open-source software is terrorism.

Underrated comment.
What I want to know is what about Haiku? BSD? AROS?
Apparently, if they’re distributed under GPL, MIT, BSD, or Apache license, they’re exempt
Good to hear though time will tell.
