I’ve only absorbed bits and pieces of the story, but allegedly there’s an age verification push happening on Linux? What’s the full story here?

Yes, but the slippery slope is also a fallacy.
Caution is better than panic.
There’s ample evidence there is an organised international push for these mass surveillance efforts in many countries all at once, do you deny this?
I would argue, for now, this is malicious compliance from the open source community.
Adding an optional field in the UserDB to store an age covers the requirements of the law, without trying to help with the spirit of the law
But I do understand the boiling the frog side
Assuming some jurisdictions implement some kind of device based age restrictions, should linux just not exist in those places?
Lets be cautious and remove the mechanism.
