From a GamingOnLinux comment thread about the Colorado Age Attestation bill’s possible effects on GNU/Linux:
Johnologue: “Hopefully the damage done by age verification laws can be limited (ideally, they would not be made at all, but I’m not expecting much in the way of regulatory competence right now).”
Gerarderloper: “I do wonder how long until this extends to ALL software. Imagine having to have your face and id scanned to play a game or use an adobe app.”
Purple Library Guy: “Could be worse. What if instead of your id, they wanted to scan your superego?”
Arehandoro: “One would hope that only happens in Nietzsche applications.”
Every morning is a battle between the superego and the id, and I am a mere foot soldier with mud and a snooze button on her shield.
