Honestly.. at first i was surprised (and disappointed) at some major Linux distributions not having a clear answer to age verification laws after weeks of their announcement, but then lots of them started discussing them. really! discussing them! what's there to be discussed?
"maybe we can implement age checks in a privacy respecting manner? 👉👈"
And it's just so happens this serves the corporation that you work for best interests! Big tech "Foss devs" have a clear conflict of interest here

@levi As far as "protecting children" goes, this is really weak tea. If you really want to protect children, work on regulating social media and AI

@levi It’s easy to judge from the comfort of an armchair. Some administrators and developers may face legal liability and consequences for failing to comply with the law. It’s understandable that they’re weighing their options. Choose empathy over conspiracy.

@levi that scary moment when age is gauged by maturity and intellectual level checking quiz and we are all stuck with Hannah Montana Linux or worse, something by oracle.
