I wish we could stop this age verification nonsense, but it’s too late.

That's a defeatist attitude. It's NEVER too late! We have all of these crazy social justice warriors in all of open source, screaming like banshees if a developer mis-genders someone or willing to rip apart the Nix foundation because they have a defense department sponsor?

Where the hell are the people who made up insane shit about Vaxry, or tried to cancel Ladybird? Where are they when there's a real insane Orwellian legal issue and not some trivial bullshit?

There are already several distro who have said no to age verification:
