Botzo comments on Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint Eye Age Verification Amid California Law Backlash

What age do service accounts get? I have "user accounts" that exist purely to run services and are not intended for login. Several of these are owned by the team and not an individual. Who provides the age verification for those?

it's more than merely about imposing kyc. "Age verification" entails asking to provide a photo. Which is then sent straight to the US and Canadian govts and compared against other people's photos. It's an intelligence gathering operation.

This is a fact, not a theory.
