Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup
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?
If the only server OS legally capable of running in CA is Microsoft’s - be it Windows, or their particular spin of Linux - guess who’s gonna sop up all that government contact money?
And why would this particular law exempt Azure Linux only and specifically?
Because these scumbag companies are essentially running business like mafia thugs. Every OS is just linux with DRM if you dig deep enough.
