I’m asking because I just had to verify my age thanks to YouTube requiring me to watch a video that was age restricted.

minus-square18107@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·20 hours agoTake back control of your OS. Use a different OS if you need to.
minus-squareosanna@lemmy.vglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·17 hours agoYup. I’m gonna learn programming if I have to to remove it from my distro if necessary
minus-squareandrewta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down4·10 hours agoThe law is being written so ALL operating systems will be covered. Are you suggesting I write my own os?
minus-square18107@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 hours agoAre you suggesting that all countries on earth will adopt this law, or that all developers in all countries will comply with the law of one country? Will all previous versions of all OSs be deleted? Will all OSs become closed source so you can’t just remove the age verification part? Will you be the only person on earth who is willing to break an unethical law to have basic privacy? If yes to all the above, then you may need to start learning how to program.
minus-squareandrewta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 hours agoAs I said to another comment, the law is being wrote Where it will cover all operating systems. So exactly which one would I use if they’re all covered?

Then you use another. Adapt
