That might mean it needs to be implemented at the distro level. Not the kernel. This means that any distro that won’t comply will be illegal in California. I’m pretty confident this won’t cause any issues for anyone outside the “Land of the Free”.
I mean, as the law is written there’s zero requirement for the entered age to be verified, only to associate an age bracket with the OS user account and to provide that info to programs as they require it. Now, I do wonder if a California-compliant OS would require service accounts to have an entered date of birth and what kind of fun that could potentially lead to of you enter the date of account creation as the birthdate but the full ramifications remain to be seen
