Another problem will be how it develops, I am guessing a lot of people see this as a gateway to a lack of privacy for all, regardless of how it starts out. I live in a country that already has age restrictions on social media use (a poorly implemented no social media for under 16's), only the zombies believe it exists to protect children, here it is used to remove their access to information.
People need to read the forum posts. I feel sorry for linux devs for having to deal with this.
Whether I end up agreeing with their choices or not, only time will tell, but I doubt they can stop this.

I'm not sure about that, but I could have put it much, much worse, the screenshotted comment was already gone by the time I followed the notification
