the linux foundation will probably end up supporting age verification

@sun I wouldn't be opposed to, say, a PAM module that tracks a user's age and some kind of custom resolvd setup that routes underage accounts' traffic through a hosts file that blocks porn and social media sites, maybe sends an email to root if it's attempted
Will probably set something like this up when I have kids

@scathach my main issue is that it can be done in a privacy preserving way but never is. I'm kind of different than most people on here because I think when everything you do is mediated by a computer that you kind of need some sort of an age verification system if you don't want people to have to do it in person. just do it right so your entire digital life isn't being tracked is my requirement
@sun Hmmmm I wonder why it's literally never done as anything other than coughing up your ID to a centralized database linked to your online accounts hmmmm
@scathach yeah, I know. it's a bad situation because it is needed but they'll never give up their power to spy
