It Got Worse.. Windows & Linux Requires Mandatory Age Verification with New USA Law That Passed

So, it's not just the UK doing a lot of

age verification and censorship of

content this time. We also have the

United States that has a law that was

officially passed that is forcing age

verification on operating systems. And

when I say operating systems, I mean all

operating systems for PCs. And then we

also have an operating system like FreeB

BSD pulling out of California because of

the whole entire situation. Things are

getting bad. It's getting worse. And

just when you felt like the Discord

stuff and the um the Apple stuff was

just as about as bad as it can get,

somehow we reached a new level of just

bad. Because if you think the Discord

stuff's bad, you think the Apple stuff

is bad, oh boy, this what I'm about to

talk about today is much worse. You will

now need to age verify yourself just to

be able to access your PC desktop if it

has any form of operating system. And if

you don't believe me, there is already a

law that is officially passed in the

United States that is going to be

implementing this type of stuff. And

there is now a proposed bill in Colorado

that is more or less doing the exact

same thing. And I want to make this very

clear before I go any further. Even if

you don't live in these states, like you

don't live in, you know, California, you

don't live in Colorado, this will

eventually affect you. Let's look at

what happened in the UK. Let's look at

what happened in the EU, Australia,

Canada, certain states in the United

States. When the dominoes start to fall,

it is going to continue to fall. For

instance, what starts off in let's say

California or Colorado will eventually

go throughout the entirety of the United

States, will go out for the entirety of

the EU, the entirety of the UK. You get

the point. So don't think that this has

nothing to do with you, that this does

not affect you. This affects everyone.

We have seen the systematic effect of

age verification sweeping its way

through multiple different apps,

multiple different sites, and just so

much draconic stuff with censorship.

It's case in point, everybody at this

point in time, you can't ignore it. It

is affecting everyone that uses the

internet in some shape or form. And I'm

just going to straight up simplify this

into the best of my ability. they're

pretty much saying is that if you have

any form of application that connects to

the internet or you have like an app

like service or whatever on let's say

the desktop or whatever and it's an

operating system too you will now need

to age verify. So that means upon the

setup of your operating system, you will

need to age verify yourself just to be

able to get past the initial stages of

being able to launch your PC. And this

is affecting every operating system,

Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and a bunch of

other stuff that I don't know on the top

of my head, but this affects everyone.

Now, will this be able to be implemented

into stuff, let's say, for example, like

Linux?

Who knows? But the law has passed.

Straight up. The law has passed and it

is coming into effect. Now, will this be

challenged in the Supreme Court or

whatever?

Who knows? Who knows? However, at this

time, it is passed. It will come into

effect. Nothing could be done on that

end. So, the question is is how does

people react to it when it does happen

on January 1st of next year? We shall

see. Now besides that we already have

reactions that are taking place thanks

to the California bill where the free

BSD based Midnight BSD operating system

has decided to not offer the system

their system to Californians due to the

recently passed bill requiring age

verification and operating systems until

we have a better plan. We modified our

license to exclude residents of

California from using Midnight BSD for

desktop use effective January 1st, 2027.

This is absolutely [ __ ] ridiculous.

I'm just I'm I'm not calling out

FreeBSD, by the way. I think they're

right by doing this. It's ridiculous

that we have come to a point now to

where an operating system has to deny

service to an entire state because of

these [ __ ] laws that our government

and multiple governments around the

world are starting to do. It's It's so

insane. It's so [ __ ] insane. I can't

believe

I can't believe stuff like this is just

continuing to get worse. Like you want

to talk about the Discord stuff, you

want to talk about the Apple stuff, this

is worse. This is almost as bad as it

can get. It It really is. Like the only

thing at this point now is the

segregation of the internet into

multiple different countries. More like

just age verification on every single

freaking app and then there's nothing

you can do about it. And then obviously

people getting arrested for the wrong

meme. That's literally the future we're

literally head first walking towards.

That that that's what's happening. And

it's just so horrifying. Like it it it

it's actually horrifying. Like

as I said yesterday, we have crossed a

threshold of a point of no return. If

this is not full stopped by the internet

itself trying to rally together and even

politicians and companies trying to work

together, it's [ __ ] over. I'm

serious. It is. I I don't like to be a

doom and gloomer and all that and act

like there's no hope, but what I'm

saying here is is that even if this law

from California gets challenged in the

Supreme Court, it's very obvious the

governments are head over heels of this

censorship. They're all in it, both

sides, Republicans and Democrats. And

this is other forms of government, too,

with their own versions. They're all on

board with this. They're all having

their own versions of wanting to censor

the internet and gain your information

and stuff and censor you. It's just

insane. And so I don't really think that

even like for instance like the Supreme

Court would fully shut this down because

they're definitely they probably want

this to happen. And that this is just

it's so crazy where we're at now cuz the

only way I could see something like this

being fought back against now is like if

these multi-billion dollar companies

come together to fight back against it.

But why would they? They seek to profit

from it.

They gain your data, they could sell it.

It's common sense. They they make money

off of this. They they they make money

off of selling your stuff. So, why

wouldn't they want age verification?

They know who you are. They know what

they can push towards you with ads and

stuff because they'll know your face and

what what location you're in. You know,

your geog uh like your geological

location. They they'll know everything

about you. And so, they'll know what to

send you because they'll know like your

name and stuff. And a quick little

search up might reveal maybe like

medical histories and stuff like that. I

don't know, public information and it

can result in them also knowing more

about you to just monitor you. It's just

I cannot believe where we're at right

now. Like we have reached this point

like what started off is like in the

last year like obviously was happening

prior to that but like it really reached

a different level in last summer where

collective shout like got Steam to take

down a bunch of games and it.io. I

cannot believe we've gotten to the point

of something like this.

And I just what's pissing me off about

this, there's not a lot of people really

fighting back. Like yes, there's people

fighting back, but there's so many

massive content creators that are just

not even talking about this. They're

they're not so many content creators

that need to be talking about this just

refuse to talk about this. either

because of optics they can't be bothered

because they don't care or maybe they

work with some of these companies and

they can get money from them. I I I

don't know. I just

this

this is not good. This does nothing to

protect kids. It doesn't it does not

protect kids at all.

And it's crazy people are falling for

that that Trojan horse because it's not

about that. It's It's never been. We

literally have the Epstein files

and nothing's really happened in the US

because of that. Nobody's gotten

arrested or anything. They don't care

about kids. They don't They don't They

don't care at all.

I'll leave it at that though. I just I

wanted to talk about this cuz it's just

really annoying, especially when you see

stuff like this as well. Like that this

is another thing too with like UK

cracking down on like household

streaming services too. It's just it's

crazy, dude. It's it's freaking crazy. I

will leave it at that, though. If you

enjoy my content, please subscribe,

leave a like, um please share the video

around and all that. It does help out a

lot and allows more people to discover

my content and become aware of these

issues and I think are incredibly

important. There's nothing more

important to talk about at the moment

than this. I mean, I love talking about

anime and manga and stuff, but this

stuff is incredibly important for

everyone. And it's just everybody should

be talking about this. It is that

important. So, I'll leave it at that. Be

safe. Stay healthy. GBLs.
