Please don't harass people about this but saying "I didn't submit age verification for Linux, I only added a field for it in systemd" sounds a bit like "I didn't build the gas chambers for undesirable people, I just added the lables for the controls."
Yes, I'm being a little hyperbolic. However, the death of privacy and the criminalization of anyone who doesn't comply doesn't happen overnight. It takes little bits of help from many law abiding citizens.

@trevdev This is a stupid idea. What if pure tech things like permission to change kernel modules was expressed in "duration and ability to computer" rather than "duration after birth date". A schoolkid has changed a kernel driver on their own device. so what?
