Systemd recently introduced a new change that you might want to take note of.

Just considering its an opensource project and judging from the reactions on the PR people didn't welcome the change; this is quite the wild phrasing in the end of the article:

> that is what this change looks like, but this won't be stopping the haters and conspiracy theorists from making wild accusations

I mean maybe people just didn't even want to have the 'option', without any theories?

I like the approach e.g.: agelesslinux.org/ is taking in that regard.

you guys lost the plot on this one. It was no place for systemd to do this in the first place regardless of how dumb and harmful the legislation is.
But actions like this is what legitimises dumb and harmful laws.

Holy moly mother of load of crap? Are they doing this? Are they really doing this? Have they gone banana's and lost their marbles?

ok but if its optional the age verification then why making a law? Whats the purpose of making a law based on changing systemd (which is regulating operating systems and thats restricting freedom itself) just for implementing something optional? Dont get it

🇧🇷 Brazilian Federal Law 15211, called Digital Statute of Children and Adolescents, requires age verification of users on social networks, application stores and operating systems

The National Data Protection Agency defined the steps to implement age measurement solutions
