You guys are asking the wrong questions. How is Linux going to do this? There’s no server for the os to send the information to report the age of its users, no way of forcing its user base to comply and no single person or entity to fine, arrest or otherwise force into compliance. They made a law they cannot enforce.

From what I understood, it’s a requirement for a local API (for apps to use) and could be implemented during user creation. It will be a slippery slope and IANAL, just my interpretation.
