We need to take what we've learned from open source, and build something new. Something that will, as a matter of bedrock principle, stand up for human rights.
Linux distros should be either refusing to comply, or forbidding people through its license, in jurisdictions like CA that require age verification, to not use their software. It really is that simple.

Just because the racist piece of shit known as DHH said it, doesn't mean you have to quote it verbatim.
