I worry that if we get lots of diff jurisdictions with diff laws, it may be easiest for an OS to comply iwth the most strict of them.

Lax ones don’t require age verification, but also don’t forbid it. Strict ones require it. You can comply with both at once.

Maybe doesn’t matter if you can easily bypass the age check. Which is true at the present time. But things like this, they often slip-slope into more KYC style of hard to get around. All it takes is a horrible event all over the headlines. If it “could have been stopped” with stricter measures, they’ll come. Once you have a hammer, all problems are nails.

This just proves the entire bill is fucking stupid if they can do this.

This is good news. Better news would be dropping the bill, but at least this won’t hurt FOSS.
