Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:
We’ll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.
However, what’s gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.


Literally nobody: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_people
AFAICT even the oldest unverified person was born in 1900 https://en.iz.ru/en/node/2061564?main_click
Someone in the future may be born before 1900, we can’t know for sure.
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the slippery slopers claim that this is just the first step, eventually they’ll make it ban anyone born before 1970, then 2036
To be fair, when it comes to both physical and digital fascism, every time the slippery slopers have been told they are sloping and exaggerating, they are actually proven right.
