GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can’t be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.
Fuck yeah Graphene.
That’s the bare minimum I expect from them.
Now we just need to see how different distros handle it
Just saw a report yesterday that systemd will implement age verification, meaning it might not be up to the distros.
Might not be up to the distros?
Most distros already have a non-systemd variant out there.
And systemd is also open source; if age verification is baked in, people can just modify it to always return a positive result.
Its just storing a date you tell it is your birthday. Nothing more than an age gate that can easily be lied to.
Honestly just have your distro zero accounts out to 00:00:00-1970-01-01 by default.
i personally think people who maintain distros outside of these countries/regions will just ignore these requirements
