Sure, but we are talking age verification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act
This is very tinfoil hat. For every argument in one direction, there is an equal and opposite in the other. Time will tell indeed, but my bet is in the community to fork and continue the open nature. Not all are corrrupt american business
They did not. They added a birthdate field to userdb which has always and will always be an entirely optional database of user information like it can include your email address. It's just a meaningless string of numbers, and if compliance is in someway forced? Forks will happen, and life will move on.
There is no online verification system, there is no tiein, if apps choose to? Fork or rebuild, but that's on the companies behind those apps. This is a nothing burger.
No need to fearmonger.
If, and I do stress if applications require it filled out, there are simply going to be an awful lot of epoch birthdates in their data. And frankly a lot of people, myself included, who will step up and write replacements to these applications in order to give a giant middle finger to authoritarian governments/companies as a result.
It's very mild this, and as it has no 'verification', it's just a meaningless string of numbers.
Has nothing to do with linux and everything to do with your boxes hardware
For SAML yes, but you can use many other options including OIDC without a license.

Why wait? Start your own journey now, learn on the way, be prepared to be your own provider and tell authoritarian governments to pound sand.
