It is not a hit piece. No call to action was stated.

Ah, but this time the government wants it to be able to be queried so that applications and web sites can decide what to do with you. That’s the difference.

Not true. Because the stated purpose of the laws at play is to enable that to be queried so that sites can decide what is appropriate for you to see.

Your argument is an informal fallacy called Whataboutism.

I invite you to educate yourself by reading about it on Wikipedia

Regardless of your thoughts on age verification, hunting down someone just for complying with the (currently) rather inoffensive law is nuts.

No one has been hunted down. I’ve not read an article anywhere showing that’s happened, have you? Also, this wasn’t complying, this was being complicit. The law IS offensive, both to ones sensibilities and in that it literally attacks Linux by attempting to criminalize it. No one is taking a life, but maybe educating those in charge of open source projects and employers who work closely with the open source community, that this person should not be granted contributor access to such projects.

What you are really asking is how far will people go to defend freedom? Look at history, my friend.

That would still be complying. Not okay.

Why, because they throw everything in there like a jello salad?

Another collaborator, “just following orders.”

Defenders and writers of the evil code are the ones being targeted. You have this backwards and need a mirror.

THIS! Those that do obey in advance, especially trying to help impose it on the rest of us, are collaborators!!! Treat them as such!

Those writing boot licking compliance are NOT your friends.

How about you do so first, you who would defend such vile actions.

No

Collaborator!

NO!

You are trying to protect the villain in the story.

The correct word is collaborator, btw. Sticking up for him doesn’t look good, either.

Stop trying to make what he did ok. It is not ok.
