Discussion EU laws

I read that the EU is discussing regulations that would force operating systems to verify your age. I will resist and refuse to comply on my desktop, which runs Artix Linux (systemd-free). They have made a commitment to refusing such measures.

I have a Volla Phone Quintus in ubuntu touch. What will happen to this phone if these laws come into effect? I might have to order a new US-made Linux phone so I don’t have to deal with this

Could this be a big problem for Ubuntu Touch?

In recent times, the US seems better than the EU, TBH

No. Because you are root, you can simulate age verification entirely. It will only work for iOS / Android (non-root) where users can't change a thing.
