I don't disagree with anything here.
But my point wasn't "there's nothing to worry about", it was "an age field is the minimum they can do, and blaming them for it is pointless".
My point is that this law is already there, and the fight needs to be brought where it matters, and the code of linux systems is not what is going to change politics. When someone is held at gunpoint, you don't yell at them to fight back and curse them when they don't, but you attack the attacker.
