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.


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.
