They don't call the systemd change "age verification" in the article.

In fact, they specifically make the point that it isn't.

    They do use it in the title though (the title on this post was auto-generated from the article, I didn't pick it out.)

    I agree with OP, it's not really age verification in the sense we've been seeing in the news, but it IS a step in the direction of following the letter of the law without intrusiveness.
