Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:
We’ll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.
However, what’s gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.
If you think about it like that none of the proposed laws verify anything, even the worst one just verified you logged into the account with credentials for someone who put their DOB in the age bracket returned by the API
And that’s why I fear what comes next now that the infrastructure has been set for sharing sensitive data like DoB. Brazil’s law already stated that self-reporting age is not sufficient.
By that logic you should disconnect from the Internet entirely and use templeOS.
OR, we can just use a distro like Artix that doesn’t comply with the law.
