why, great news!

So I suspect they are also dropping their plans to require age verification on social media?

After all, public code repositories which are essential for developing the software they're switching to are... also a form of social media, correct? Surely they do not want to sabotage its development by requiring those repos to implement costly age verification? Right?

I can tell you one thing: French authorities don't give a flying fuck about any right to privacy for commoners.
