Apple UK Age Verification Chaos: Users Face Failed Scans, Rejected Passports, and Forced Content Filters

2. Agree, but there are still some people with a spine.

Leads of some Linux distros are refusing to comply with state "register your age" laws.

And I personally will distribute "illegal" operating system media, even if every brainless state rep, senator, the Attorney General and Governor himself object.

Ageless Linux

Software for humans of indeterminate age. We don't know how old you are. We don't want to know. We are legally required to ask. We won't.

Ageless Linux is a registered operating system under the definitions established by the California Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043, Chapter 675, Statutes of 2025). We are in full, knowing, and intentional noncompliance with the age verification requirements of Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.501(a).

Do I think that a server farm of 10,000 or more computers will ask the admin to answer "YES" to the age verification question 10,000 times over?

Not really.
