It’s more the question of why is everyone folding to this age verification nonsense. One dumb state makes a law, now everyone is bending over backwards to comply. A state full of corruption no less, like what are the alteria motives.
Maybe parents should start, parenting their kids, rather than making the government parent them.
Why does any even watch Linus Tech Tips, it feels like most his facts are based on his opinion, rather than any grounded reality, while he will flaunts it as fact. Then goes and make noob mistakes with his setups, while acting like computer Jesus. A fake interview only perpetuates this state of him making up content, to what ever pleases his himself and his patron audience. Truth only gets in the way of a good story, and this guy seems to know how to spin the tallest of stories
Maybe it should be a parents job to parent, and not leave it to governments and companies to parent children.
Most of these issues that age verification is trying to solve is a parenting issues. A teen is still going to likely find a way around this nonsense without any repercussions. It’s a parents job to teach children how to be safe in public spaces and the etiquette required.
No idea why systemd is even bending a knee to any of this at all. Doesn’t even seem like a problem systems should ever try resolve. That should be a distro maintner issue at worst case.
