Surveillance creep is once again striking in the age verification debate. This is happening at the FCC this time.

You're shooting the messenger. Meta and others are lobbying governments hard for this. They're the ones causing you to lose your privacy. Not the volunteers that maintain systemd.

Then those volunteers can refuse. But they won’t, because they agree with this direction.

It’s plain as day. You’ll agree with me in a few years.

And you can go contact your local/state/federal government representatives (I mean actually call, or go to town halls). But you won't, because hating on systemd is more important to you than your privacy.

It's as plain as day. You'll agree with me in a few years.

Lmfao, you think contacting reps is a thing that works in 2026? You must be over 60, right? With no clue where the world is going… or, you LOVE where the world is going… that’s probably more accurate.
