Worth mentioning that California's and Brazil's age verification laws were cited as a motivating factor in the pull request, the pull request ~~author~~ merger works for Microsoft and the author also did similar pull requests in other open source projects.

Edit: it was the PR merger that works for Microsoft, not the PR author.

the pull request author works for Microsoft and he also did similar pull requests in a other open source projects.

So he made several mistakes as part of a co-ordinated jumping the gun on boot throating, AND he's getting paid to make open source software worse?
