Brazil is requiring OS level age verification by march 17th, 2026.
New York about to vote on a law that would “require all manufacturers of internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reason-able and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation.”
In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.
Lemmy users upvoting Brian Lunduke is surprising. He’s very right wing from what I remember
I’ve literally never heard of this guy before.
People might not know who he is anymore. since his veer to the right hes become a lot less relevant to the linux community
Yeah that was my suspicion also, they simply don’t know him.
I’m getting old.
He’s nuts, but even nuts can do something well time to time. Just look at pistachios.
