Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field
guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 5 days agoThat’s… not what this is. Who is “they” in this scenario? There’s no government that’s looking at these values. It’s simply a way for any app you’re running to get your DoB without a prompt to track you better.

It shouldn’t need to reveal DOB to any other party. At most there should be an API that returns a boolean indicating whether the user is a child. DOB is too much information.
