Linux distros without age verification will be prohibited from distributing to regions where this law is enacted. Of course, circumventing the law is also possible, but that leaves either the project – or you – open to prosecution. As I said, your fight is with the politicians pushing through this ignorant law, not with the people, companies, or projects that are forced to comply.
That’s one of the problems. Why are you mixing people in with companies? The largest OS distributors already have this in place, those ‘companies’ already have this in place. Who do you think has been lobbying for this to be pushed? All of those giants benefit from this by pushing undue strain on small developers, which in turn tightens their grip on the users. Yeah, all the fucking politicians are to blame, as are all those companies as well. I’d this will cause projects to just remove access from those jurisdictions, good. Maybe people in those areas will help vote out the same politicians that bent over for a few bucks for this (unlikely though).
Open your eyes, it’s not politicians against tech, it’s the powerful against us.
I’m glad GrapheneOS decided to just not comply. And there are way more open projects taking the same stand. There’s still brave people out here.
So, I stand by what I said. I made my choice, you also get to make yours.
GrapheneOS said they won’t implement age verification. That not them “being brave”, that’s them literally doing nothing at all. “Brave” would be getting the governments implementing this shit to change the laws.
