Should this method of age attestation become the standard, apps and websites will not assume liability when a signal is not provided and assume the lowest age bracket. Any Linux distribution that does not provide an age bracket signal will result in a nerfed internet for their users

Fuck just as I commented yesterday about this BS entering Linux kernel, it can become new reality

Oh my God it's gonna happen. Teenagers are gonna start learning to install hacked Linux distros that lie about their age for access to porn. This might actually be the biggest boon for tech literacy ever.
