A friend, @chloetankahhui@mas.to has been speaking up against the proposal to enforce age verification at the OS level, and the QRTs to this shows the extent of naivety that a lot of people have.

No one who does hardware security believes that any system is bulletproof, but do you really think that circumventing these things will always be a simple firmware mod or hardware hack?

Let's dive in. /1

what the—and I cannot stress this enough—absolute fuck:

"...sensitive and personal footage captured by [Meta Smart Glasses]—including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex—is being reviewed by contractors who see all of it uncensored."

Guide on how to comply with California's "Age Verification" AB1043 as a software developer:

What to do:
* Don't give a shit because you don't live in California.
* If you live in California, leave California.
* If leaving is not an option, wait for a legal precedent for compliance has been set and implement the minimum requirements of the bill into your software (a very simple age bracket selection box during install will probably do more than enough).

What not to do:
* Already start proposing stupid and extremely deep implementations into xdg-desktop or d-bus. (Ubuntu)

What absolutely not to do:
* Freak the fuck out and relicense your entire codebase to a non-free software license because of a law not going into a effect for another year while you don't even live in California... (MidnightBSD)

@miko@sns.myxoz.net As a solo software developer that is easy to say because the chance of your specific software will go unnoticed and never gets sued is very high. But as a large organization there really is no way around it, so you just have to either leave California or do the minimum compliance or you stop existing.

Putting dumb actions taken by maintainers on the California bill aside.

The worst people in this whole thing to me are the fearmongers who didn't actually read the bill and are saying dumb clickbait shit like "YOU WILL NEED TO UPLOAD YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE AND TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR FACE TO USE LINUX SOON"

AI is going to ruin the greatest project ever undertaken on the internet.

🇪🇺Who rejected the #ChatControl 1.0 proposal in LIBE? 👇

🤯 Whoah...

The same project that enables Google binaries and exectuables in the privileged system partition?
