@carlrichell@fosstodon.org This is also an important teachable moment.
Even corporate Linux distributions don't need to include an age form, and why is that? Not because *they* stood up to bad legislation, but because a broader and more principled community did so. It turns out, we *don't* need to preemptively comply with fascism, and it leads to worse outcomes when we do. Which we all *told* corporate vendors up front.
So maybe next time, we can skip a few steps and understand our bargaining power as something we're obligated to use, and reasonably likely to win with.
