    Deserves, the change is garbage, it affects so few people and now the rest of us have this option to be forced to use it at a later date. garbage human. Most of linux users will not be touched by any of this garbage law. i am rather militant over this

      But you don’t have to use it dumbass. There is no requirement to fill it in. Funny though how you’ve never apparently had a problem with the RealName field that’s been in there for years.

        No shit, that’s not the point. The point is that in the future they will make it a requirement. Is there something more specific you need help understanding?

        No requirement today, what about tomorrow? What is happening with age verification in UK?

        You need to prove you are an adult usually via CC when you want a wank

        So kids and adults started to use VPNs

        So now the government is considering forcing VPN’s to also perform age verification

        What is next? Do you need more examples of how this is idiotic? Do you know the reason why no one is up in arms about the RealName? Because it was not implemented specifically to facilitate age verification where as this change is purely and specifically to be used for this purpose and no other. Go read the actual PR.

      Yes, the dev deserves to be harassed and receive literal death threats because checks notes he added a completely optional field.

      Grow the fuck up.
