    Couldn’t reply to me pointing out that this was merged, and was stated to be explicitly to support age verification laws, so you had to lie about it as a meme instead.

    Because thats what youre doing right now, lying and spreading misinformation. You can admit it.

      The birth date field that was added can be used by age verification processes, but it’s not age verification itself.

        It was added specifically for the purpose of two state laws and Brazil.

        Trying to weasel it as “this doesnt implement it” is misinformation at best.

      Age verification could be a usecase. The PR in question just adds a optional date field labeled birth date. If you are mad about age verification (as you should be) feel free to direct your rage elsewhere.

        Age verification could be a usecase.

        ITS THE EXPRESS PURPOSE AS WRITTEN IN THE PR.

        I will absolutely direct my anger and frustration where it belongs, which includes systemd along with the dumbasses pushing these laws.

        As well as you for spreading misinformation. Make no mistake, its deserved.

        Can’t tell if you’re a bad faith pedant or just indescribably naive.
