It's not really a win though. It just means Linux will get blocked by platforms.
The fun part of open source is that someone smarter than me will inevitably just update the existing spoofing tools to include whatever checks those platforms are using.
Digital signatures might be required to prove your age. Then spoofing won't do the trick.
I hope I'm wrong though.
A number of VPNs have tools to let you spoof browser IDs. It's useful if you want to access YouTube and pretend you're on Chrome to get better performance.
Hopefully it is as easy as saying the user is an adult without storing anything. It won't be, but that would be nice.

Fuck the platforms. We'll make our own.
We're literally on one "we" made on our own right now. So yeah, exactly, we'll make our own. With blackjack... and hookers. In fact forget the platforms.
