I mean I get where you're going with this, but I still don't see how this effects Linux. Oh no I can't access reddit without a government ID...cool I don't use it anyway?

    It won't at first. If more essential websites start to unnecessarily adopt it, it will start to lock Linux users out of being able to access the services necessary to exist in modern society.

    • Do banking
    • Make online purchases
    • File your taxes
    • Book a doctor's appointment
    • Apply for a job
