that isnt age verification though, it is not verifying the age; its just asking the user to input their age, something websites and apps have been doing for ages
That’s the first step to it. SystemD doesn’t need to store any private data like that. Like most changes, if it’s done in stages, instead of all at once. It’s much harder to revert…
Personally, I don’t want my kid to use a device that is broadcasting their age in any way. Just makes them a target to Epstein bros. Going to a site that is asking age verification is different, there’s a voluntary step there
Yeah there was some drama about it.

This blog explains the situation but also attacks the developer that did it and I do not think he is to blame here.
