Then its already to late. We are well past the point of fighting for freedom and privacy on the net. Hell we let the net be bought up and controlled by 5 companies. And people happily use them and complain about big tech on reddit. Lime WTF.

I doubt those changes would be PRed, merged, updated in my distro and somehow automatically pushed to my system in the blink of an eye. This isn't Microslop we're talking about who can force-push intransparent "fuck your settings" at the drop of a hat, and I'm certainly going to be much more wary of upcoming updates now. This isn't my point of objection (yet - mandatory entry would be), but definitely a point of caution. If they stick to malicious "here, you can _ask_ for a date, but we can't guarantee _which_ date, if any, you'll get" compliance, that isn't perfect, but it'll be good enough to make a joke out of tracking the date at all. Besides, just this change being minor would be no reason not to keep pushing back against the law and airing our discontent about the direction they're heading in, because the direction is definitely concerning.

Your real name and location data have been stored in UNIX/Linux for over 60 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecos_field realName and location have been fields in systemd since the beginning. Were you panicking about this before social media told you to be afraid?
