Cool now get rid of the law entirely.

thanks, California, but we didn't give a shit what you thought in the first place

Great This could drive more people to linux than ever Especially if the law will eventually require users to verify their age with an ID. I wonder if big tech will still be this exited about implementing age verification once they start seeing people ditching their softwares in favor of FOSS alternatives!

That might well be the best thing that any government could possibly do to drive open source adoption.

Sensible laws? That's not the world I grew up in. What the hell is happening.

Punish users. That's the only way they'll learn.

My tinfoil hat is telling me they’ll do this to make an outlaw of Linux and block it from services and sites. I hope my hat is wrong.

For now. These kinds of laws always enroach.

So we're taking that code out of systemd, right?

Wait... So if Linux doesn't have the api (sorry, the "signal" 🙄) how will sites that require it respond? What does it mean to be "exempt" - every user is considered to be an adult?

"Please stop fighting this distopian law".

A game I payed long ago in my mobile requested me last week age verification.

Game lost...

A big win for open source software software.

Linux is now the backbone of everything. It you mess Linux up, so many things will break. They realized this finally.
