Simple solution. From now on Linux distros should ship with a big message “NOT FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA”.
You want to force age verification? No server in all of California will run. Period.

Microsoft’s own servers run Linux. An in-house build IIRC named Azure Linux.

And there’s nothing keeping them from adding it themselves for their own profit.

What does that have to do with anything?

Yeah… It says just that in the article. You did read the article, right? I mean you didn’t just read the title and then rush in here to make a comment?

Where, pray tell? Out of curiosity I went there to check it out, and the “article” is just 3 paragraphs that just barely expand on the title. Maybe uBlock is triggering some invisible paywall there for me?

Keep scrolling there is more, mine has a odd empty ad break too

I did scroll down all the way to the comments section, and nothing.
Disabled uBlock, and sure enough, more of the article showed up.

Supposedly the age verification thing that’s needed is the equivalent to a porn site verification. Just enter a birthday that’s in the 1800s, and you’re set. This is still a bad direction to go towards though, as it’ll set precedent for future bullshit.

Ah, the Glock solution.
