genuinly, from the bottom of my heart,

fuck the california and colorado age verifacation laws

shitty california law/bill /whatever the fuck it is

shitty colorado one



this is a trojan hourse. its not meant for child saftey

its meant for mass survalence

its meant to be able to see, "ok who will listen to this

law? and who will ignore it?"

we all already know windows wants this. and there is no

dougbt that they are goning to implent this


the bill states that it is for child saftey.


"This bill imposes obligations on covered manufacturers to

communicate certain information to developers, including age

bracket information, and to obtain parental consent before

allowing the download of apps for certain users."

"Requires a covered manufacturer to provide an accessible

interface at account setup that requires an account holder to

indicate the birth date, age, or both..."

(ca bill)


but thats just how it starts. mark my words, when this bill

actually goes into effect, minors wont put the correct age

minors will just put over 18, like they always have

then california will complain 'minors are just setting themselfs

to be over 18, this age verivacation doesn't work' waa waa more

baby sounds 'we will start doing id verifacation as of [year/month]'

and the thing is, is that companies will go, 'well we made age

age verifacation and it wasnt to hard. i guess we can add id verifacation'

its a trojan horse.

fuck it

petition. rise up. dont let them tread on us


i feel like this bill also heavily targets the foss community

developers have to pay fines for evry minor that falsifies their age

the thing about fos is that its free. the devs dont have much money

so haveing to pay a $7000+ fine per user who lies is a lot of money

i honestly think that the linux distro dev should make a popup when

downloading an iso that askes if they are 18

the mandates that dev only has to pay money if they find out that the user lies

but if the age check is on the website, there is no way to find out uf they lie or not

well i guess theres not really a way either way to find out if they lie

linux doesnt come with spyware so id would be kinda hard for distro makers to find out


also linux devs arent getting paid to add this stupid age verifacation feture

fuck you california. ive always hated you and your shit gun laws

now i just hate all of california and its shit politician


im thinking about switching to lfs. fuck these laws

thank you for reading my rant. goodbye
