So, will this be a new sudo where I have to scan my ID?

Isn't this the opposite of having to provide ID to verify your age? This is like the less-bad way of doing age verification whilst maintaining some level of privacy.

Do you know whats less bad way of doing forced age verification? Don't ask. What ever happened to parents actually educating their children...

Its enter your age box today
Tomorrow it will be upload your id, you are already okay with the age box

I am not in US or Brazil, why is this nonsense forced on me? Well I just won't use systemd but it still sets a bad precedent to comply with bullshit legislation written by people with half a braincell, high on jesus

Utter nonsense made by nonses

I think people are going hard on the slippery slope thing with this. I don't really care either way but there are lots of fediverse folks who are upset about it.

No, it's literally just a field that you can set on your kid's devices to prevent them accessing porn (from sites that comply with the law).
