Here lies darkness.
I mean, they can say Linux must do it, but then Linux won’t do it and then what? This will probably be as effective as the war on drugs or efforts to stop media piracy (or even just private copying). They try, they fail, they avoid the topic as much as possible.
Use DRM to block non-trusted OSes from accessing the web?
Another thing that could be done is banning any software that isn’t sanctioned by MS, Google, Apple, etc.
Apple and Google are already doing that

We are the frogs in the boiling pot of app stores
If they’re serious about it it will eventually be made into a requirement for serious services. I could imagine federal regulations requiring online banking, accessing government services (including school-related services), and maybe even ecommerce and payment processing looking for this trusted info, and refusing to run otherwise. Like TPM on steroids.
Then they’ll just block Linux from accessing the web.
The US can kiss my shiny, metal ass.
It’s not that shiny.
PALANTIR, GOOGLE, MS, META cant wait to get thier hands on this.
That’s why they’re lobbying for it.
Honesty I wouldn’t be surprised if they wrote the legislation
They can’t just verify age, they have to verify identity to verify age…
They want to find the kiddies
When they say OS level age verification, they forget that everything has an OS, coffee makers, routers, cameras, cars, etc etc Verify your age before you can take a photo, or make coffee, that shit will die quick. And if it somehow doesn’t, there will be hacks for it.
there will always be hacks, but the average person would just give up their ID and they won.
“Here be dragons” is more like it, it’d make more sense for the lizard-people believing crowd. Explain how any of the billionaires are any different from dragons at this point. They hoard wealth, act as sovereigns, most people fear and hate them, they fly around with their jets, cause immense harm to the environment, and basically subject the people to their every whim.

Ultimately they want to be able to track every interaction you have online and tie it to your real life person. And they want to keep those record until the end of time. And they want AI and data analytics so that they can one day determine what "kind of person" you are.
