I just want to make sure that we do agree on a few things.

1. Requiring actual ID verification and/or face scans is bad and cannot be effectively anonymized.
2. That many of the current bills do not require ID verification or face scans. This includes the California one that the systemd merge request cites as well as the Colorado one that it mostly identical.
3. The laws in their current form are poorly written and clearly misunderstand how modern general purpose computers work and are referred to.

Given that, I think we can ultimately agree that the NY, UK, Germany, and I think also the Brazil laws are bad and cannot be fixed with simple updates to language.

So let's focus on the law's that do not require actual verification since that is what the systemd change cites.

What issues do you have outside of that they are poorly written and ineffective or that they are a slippery slope/frog in a pot/tip of the spear?

This is not about my comfort this is about what these laws actually require rather than some imaginary law that has not even been written yet.

I figured that someone might latch onto that "necessarily" and that's the great thing about open-source. If that distro/application/os does misuse your data then don't use it or fork it.
