So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now’s that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

    this is insane, but i don’t quite understand how will it be pushed on independent linux distros.

    even if it’ll be magically pushed into linux kernel, mfs will just create a fork without that shit… no?

      They’ll probably just ban Linux and BSD on the desktop and force Windows and macOS. If NK can force Red Star, then the Fourth Reich can force their approved OS.

        Yeah, just make it a felony to use a non-standard OS.

        “You installed Linux? What kind of criminal weirdo are you? What are you hiding? You must be a pedo!”

        Because we care so much about those…
