I think you're misreading it. It doesn't ban Linux from providing age collection and verification. It makes it a choice, rather than mandatory.
I would expect that Linux users want access to age-verified apps just as much as other users, so such a signal will be available.
Also, you're being overly pedantic on the language used. It transfers liability away from the service, more easily allowing operation in about half of the states. "age verification" is a fine lay description.
- inigyou 17d agoAge verification implies that age is verified, which is a complete and total lie
- iamnothere 17d agoNobody cares about the distinction except pro-age gating activists. I don’t want any law that requires specific behavior from the OS, whether it’s verification, attestation, or something else.
- inigyou 17d agoInteresting, you don't think the GPL should be enforced? That requires specific behavior.
- iamnothere 16d agoThere is no law that says that you have to use the GPL for your OS project.
