  I suspect they are talking about the new California law that says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup. Planned to go into effect Jan 2027.

  Age verification bill is approved in California https://www.techradar.com/computing/software/californias-age-verification-law-is-proving-controversial-heres-what-you-need-to-know-and-why-some-linux-distros-are-in-the-firing-line

  So yes basically the end result will be, Microsoft and Apple will implement age verification (aka ID check) on Os level. And Linux will not, meaning the state will prohibit the use of any Linux distribution that is not following their law.
