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.

I'm not worried about the surveillance laws as much as I'm worried about the "bUt wE cAn mAKe iT pRivAte" camp

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? ππ"
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

"I pulled the actual bill text from 5 state age verification laws. They're copy-pasted from two templates. Meta is funding one to dodge ~$50B in COPPA fines β and the other one covers Linux."
