Then he said Arch Linux should implement it anyway because the law requires it. archinstall PR #4290

Well, it's not "the law", it's your local law. To most people on the planet, it doesn't apply any more than for example North Korea's laws. As far as I can find, Arch Linux is not owned by a foundation or similar legal entity (i.e. which could have been located in California), but the lead developer appears to live in Germany.

    So... if the law interferes with your goals, apparently it is now perfectly fine to just ignore it.

    That seems to be the approach the US government is taking.

    Germany has a similar law already active

    §12 Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag

    (1) Anbieter von Betriebssystemen, die von Kindern und Jugendlichen üblicherweise genutzt werden im Sinne des § 16 Abs. 1 Satz 3 Nr. 6, stellen sicher, dass ihre Betriebssysteme über eine den nachfolgenden Absätzen entsprechende Jugendschutzvorrichtung verfügen. Passt ein Dritter die vom Anbieter des Betriebssystems bereitgestellte Jugendschutzvorrichtung an, besteht die Pflicht aus Satz 1 insoweit bei diesem Dritten.

    (3) In der Jugendschutzvorrichtung muss eine Altersangabe eingestellt werden können

    But yes, neither such laws nor the implementation into systemd is in any way positive and should be fought

    Kinda. In Germany, we put many words together, to form a new word.

    Jugend = youth Medien = media Schutz = protection Staat = State Vertrag = contract
