I disagree slightly. It may not be good business, but it could be good PR, situationally. I expect a lot of 2nd-tier distros will refuse to implement it, and see a boost in their installs as a result.
Debian, Ubuntu, etc., they'll all fall right in line because the clear and immediate losses will outweigh any PR issue.

Some of the main issues with this legislation are: 1) Makes it much easier for predators of all kinds to identify and target children on their computers 2) Impossible to implement (i.e., servers don't have a person) 3) The infrastructure this bill introduces will be used by the state and corporations to destroy our last vestiges of privacy and anonymity
- gzread 7mo agoThe age bracket dropdown will not be used to destroy your last vestige of privacy and anonymity.
