A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This bill, if passed, will force operating systems to verify the age of the user. This means the verification uses a government issued ID.
It's the mechanism apparently being impossible to be cheated on what I don't understand. Or maybe I'm just hopelessly confused.
I should have replied under the post instead of under your comment, but it was your comment the one triggering the oh wait what moment for me, sorry. Don't feel like you have to give me an answer if I'm not making any sense
No worries man.
This is just a guess but with open source operating systems, it can and will probably be bypassed. I'm sure people will make forks without verification.
With closed source, probably not the most updated ones.
