Apparently this will include Linux…

    yeah good luck with that, lmao. this is 100% unenforceable. and even if a distro does opt to comply (ubuntu, most likely) all one has to do is jump ship to another one that’s given this law the finger.

        I’d say it’s probably easy to investigate avenues they’d have to enforce it. Like how would they make Canonical, a British company, enforce age verification on Ubuntu, a product they give to users for free?

        There’s no contract, no transaction, no legal entity need be involved in the process.

        distros that operate out of a different state or country are under no obligation to comply, as a start.
