Because this is a reactionary political statement and not a well thought out privacy project

  Funny that the supposed “reactionary” statement is the one opposing bills backed by anti-porn activists and the Heritage Foundation.

    The problem is the law itself not whether a software package complies with it. Let me rephrase: people like you are the real problem, rather choosing to harass software maintainers that are merely following a ridiculous law instead of harassing your government to not implement it.

      "Just following orders"
      • BoredPositron 7mo ago
        The thing is you can do something against these orders like we in the EU do every year against chatcontrol and other ridiculous laws. It's in your hands... stop sitting on them and stop moralizing other people's behaviour if you do jack shit yourself. If we will ever see the problem that some software mantainers have to comply to a law that will directly kill people you can bring your nazi talking points back to the table.

          Like OpenAI and drones, for example?
          • BoredPositron 7mo ago
            Despite the name OpenAI is not an OSS Project.

              Yet OpenAI has programmers implementing integrations with military technology. Those programmers are "just following orders." Nazi Germany weaponry was not an OSS project, it still killed millions.

        guys, it's just a friggin data field in a local config file! Nothing that will end the world. You can all come back when that supposed "law to force OSS to implement an actual age verification" is being discussed. Otherwise, please get rid of all your knives (those are used to stab people by the thousands RIGHT NOW!) and your guns (those are used to shoot people by the thousands RIGHT NOW!) before complaining about a feature that is killing nobody

    Yeah, that's what reactionary means. Just blindly opposing things.
