Grow up you fucking manchild and do some actual research. It's optional and you don't have to fill it in. Funny how all the morons like you seem to have no problem over the RealName filed that's been in systemd for years. Oh sorry I forgot you're so fucking clueless you don't even know that is a thing.
I know all that.
The difference is the real name field wasn't added as a response to laws being passed.
Go read the github thread about it. Law and specifically US law was a huge deciding factor in that.
So when this naturally escalates into even more controlling laws systemd has already signalled they are on board and willing to bend the knee.
Porn sites used to have age fields and I never thought that would ever be a problem until it turned into handing over your full blown ID.
If you can't see the way bending the knee to fascist, bullshit, over reaching spying laws is going to escalate into borderline full blown surveillance in this scenario then I think you should do some research, friend.
