Asking an expert for their opinion, even if that expert is a lawyer, is not "lawyering up", nor is their any evidence whatsoever that the Debian Project or the SPI is going to "probably sue over it".

The summary under the heading "TL;DR" was nothing more than an inflammatory opinionated interpretation of the headline and as interpretations go, it was not in any way, shape, or form, anything that might be considered a summary, which is what the "TL;DR" implied.

Hence my "WTF?" response and subsequent top level reply with the actual text and its source as sent by the DPL.

I note that the issue of "age verification" is an extremely troubling trend and I think that discussion about it needs to be considered and nuanced, neither of which were in evidence.
