  • Compliance with age verification requirements in certain US States

    From Dismal Bread@3:633/10 to All on Wednesday, March 04, 2026 00:50:02
    In case you aren't familiar two use states that I am aware of California
    and Colorado are requiring operating systems to implement age verification
    at the operating system level. I am curious how Debian plans to comply with
    the requirements (if at all) while still preserving user privacy and
    freedom. I have linked the text of the bills from both California and
    Colorado for more context. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1043

    Wrong list.
    Try debian-legal, <https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/>. It is already being discussed.
