@Hyperhidrosis I looked it up, Linux already has a birthday on accounts and a way to query it. Linux is already compliant as long as distributions offer a way to enter the birthday, which nobody currently requires.
@Hyperhidrosis@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world
you are missing the API verification part
@verita84 @Hyperhidrosis it mandates that applications can query the current user age from how it was configured. On Linux that is already possible. The bill doesn't mandate using any off-machine API or any verification of any kind

@verita84 @Hyperhidrosis @sun lunduke being an alarmist dumbass and getting things wrong?!

@sneeden @verita84 @Hyperhidrosis I just read it again for a third time and yeah in fact it says that an application developer, in the presence of this data provided by the OS, cannot legally attempt to derive an "actual" age, it has to just use that data.
