Welcome back to another video! New laws are attempting to move age checks directly into operating systems, meaning your phone or computer could be required to collect your age during setup and send an age-bracket signal to the software you use. But software developers are beginning to fight back!! GrapheneOS has publicly said it will remain available without requiring personal information, identification, or an account. Linux and open-source developers have also pushed for legal exemptions, openly refused to implement the systems, and even created software specifically designed to hamper these OS level age checks. ‼️‼️ This video covers: operating-system age verification, mandatory age signals, California’s Digital Age Assurance Act, AB 1043, GrapheneOS refusing to comply, Linux and open-source resistance, Ageless Linux, System76, open-source legal exemptions, app-store age checks, age-attestation APIs, the privacy risks of device-level identification, and why forcing age verification into software may have created its own rebellion. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:44 - The open-source community's scorched-earth campaign 1:23 - The GrapheneOS incident 3:13 - Ageless Linux's protest 4:30 - How open source removes surveillance code 5:04 - System76 joins the fight 6:18 - Landmark privacy victories in Colorado and California 7:18 - Outro 📚 Sources if you are curious: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/operating-systems/grapheneos-refuses-to-comply-with-age-verification-laws https://www.theverge.com/tech/930573/age-verification-bills-linux-open-source https://agelesslinux.org/ - The king itself alt-titles: mandatory identity checks just hit a wall. the age verification pushback just got organized. governments wanted OS-level ID checks. developers said no. --- 🎙 my gear (amazon associate): ► Microphone - https://amzn.to/4rKPtcE ► Mouse - https://amzn.to/4ubkQyJ ► Keyboard - https://amzn.to/4rP41rE ► Earbuds - https://amzn.to/4u9ARoX ► Main Monitor - https://amzn.to/4aQsqr1 ► Mousepad - https://amzn.to/40bl5w0 ► XLR Interface - https://amzn.to/4aRwVSc If you made it this far, here is a fun fact... the buff linux penguin is my favorite thumbnail ive made by far 💪
