It is an admission from the writers that this law is unrelated to safety and people should very loudly and frequently point that out.

If OSes that don't verify the age of their users are a genuinely unsafe for children, why should they be allowed just because they are open source? That doesn't seem to mitigate dangers associated with age in any away I can identify.

This would be a reasonable take if lawmakers hadn't been trying to scam us our of our rights since those rights were first put to paper.

A bad law that only affects other people might be a win for me, but it's still a loss for society

There is so much conspiratorial nonsense in these threads…
