@erin @simonzerafa @EUCommission
Your'e damn right "children should see this". So they can react and rise up to their overlords.
This is cultural appropriation!
An adult is taking from the children. Any real child should have made this drawing.
But now, an adult has profited from the situation. No child has been compensated!
It's worse than AI, this is Adult Slop!

"Lots of US states, European countries, and Australia have introduced "age verification" regulations. They present it as the classic "save the children" talking point, but it's really just a precursor to attribution of speech, particularly attributing your words to your real identity."

How can the F.C.C. sell the idea of axing funding for schools and libraries to connect to the internet? You guessed it! Protecting the children from too much screen time!
The F.C.C. will ask the public to comment on the proposed funding cuts

Think Of The Children: How To Force #RealID For All Internet Traffic (2023)
OR ... How to trick billions into voluntarily self #censorship and Real ID #tracking
Preface: Recently some states and a country have been implementing a centralized commercial database that will be required to upload state ID's and other documents to prove one is an #adult when logging into adult websites. And this is how it starts.

@EUCommission Lately, you've been bringing up child protection way too often, in one way or another. You’ve gotta realize it’s getting pretty obvious...

Banning social media for minors isn't to minimize risk to minors, it's to maximize votes for politicians.

Dylan "I read the law and I'm here to implement it" M. Tylor gets up in the morning and decides to write age verification code that he himself calls "hilariously pointless and ineffective", within a week strikes 4 repos off his list, and i bet the Linux Kernel is going to be next (I'm joking... mostly)
It's worth noting that the first people who approved the PR on systemd repo are 2 big tech employees - Mircoslop and Redhat/IBM (why I'm i not surprised!!), someone then opened a revert PR, Lennart Poettering (systemd creator) closed it.. thus blocking the removal
And this is why you now have Liberated Systemd, a fork of systemd without Age verification.. which IS 'hilariously pointless and ineffective' at saving children
when engineers starts reading the law like a specification, this is what you get.. useful idiots.

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

Did you know that #systemd already has `emailAddress`, `realName`, and `location` fields? but they where never meant for home users, only enterprise workflows, so adding `birthDate field` isn't really much work, and you could see why systemd doesn't consider that bloat
And this is exactly why systemd is bloated because it doesn't consider lots of things to be bloat in the first place
It's never a good idea to rely on software that serves corporations best interests, because corporations care about profit not principles, #FOSS principles.

Recall that #Kremlin #Russia began to ban online resources for "propaganda of suicide", and in particular for "descriptions of acts of self-harm or suicide" back in 2013: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD_%E2%84%96_398-%D0%A4%D0%97_2013_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0.
The noun "#Roskomnadzor", the name of the agency responsible for censorship, soon became a verb: "to commit [ROSKOMNADZOR]" was RuNet's new "convert to Islam".
Nine years before the full-scale war.

Want adult content without handing over PII? Piracy.
Want to listen to music without PII? Piracy.
