Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

Told ya, you fucking systemd simps. It’s all a really fucking wet slope.
systemd has nothing to do with this lmao, if you see this and immediately think “this wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t let systemd discuss putting an age field 2 months ago!!!1!” you are severely, severely misled. to stay nice.nvm i’m pretty sure this is just ragebait
Hehe. The people who ignored systemd are the same people who don’t think any of this is a problem. The kind of people who can’t understand that you have to fight this kind of bullshit anytime it pops up or it eventually wins.
It just won.
I’m still trying to figure out how systemd has anything to do with this. Any configurable level user database could have implemented this.
/etc/passwdhas your “Real Name” in it as well. Finger protocol could have been selected to expose this. Literally there’s dozens of different places the age thing could have been implemented. The maintainers of systemd decided to be the first. Hell, MidnightBSD just added a daemon to implement it.Likewise if you’re informed enough you also know there’s a flag to explicitly block it and ways to patch it out. While I’m typically a Slackware and sysvinit type of person, there’s nothing unique about systemd that enabled the shitty law California passed. And fi you really care about privacy, how about less gloat and more information about ways around it, like this fork.
You’ll go a lot further educating folks how to get around the things you perceive as bad rather than whatever your original comment was. The entire point is to get people … on your side.
“Everything that contradicts my naive worldview is just ragebait”
Sure, buddy.
