I don’t see the big deal, everyone in the world was born on 1 Jan 1900, right?

How will they force online checks using an operating system you own? You can just have the OS lie.

Besides if you’re living in a country with that level of surveillance, you should already be on a VPN regardless.

Oh, that's simple. Just have the law require all end user OSes to have government-verified ID check functionality that is out of the user's control and the integrity of it protected by Secure Boot.

Accessing any online service with an operating system capable of manipulating or bypassing the check will be considered some flavor of hacking or fraud.

Boom, done. All the privacy activists go into the slammer and Microsoft gets to sell a new version of Windows to everyone.

I genuinely feel sick to my stomach. That would completely end my life. No joke.

Yup, this is why I'm not sleeping right now!
