How much do we gotta worry about this Linux "age verification" BS?

General Discussion

I’ve been seeing news about the braindead bootlicker states of America trying to force “age verification” into Linux. I’m still not sure how much I should panic about this. I don’t see any of the communities of the distros I use talking about it, but it seems serious seeing how these devs aren’t anons and some of them may live in America.

How serious do you think this is on a scale from 1 to 10? With 1 being we laugh about it with our friends and 10 being we gonna have to manually remove the virus from the kernel every time we want to install a distro and risk prison time for doing it.

11 based on the GitHub issue and Kicksecure Wiki page references, and since this topic URL is also referenced there, the topic name is now locked.

It is not an issue for Qubes, as a derivative distribution. Whatever
solution is produced by Fedora or Debian will feature in Qubes.
Completely upstream.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team. When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.

Wait what ? If the “solution” is bad Qubes will not even try to remove this?
