I am a FOSS Advocate.
Federal Law alert.
HR 8250 is worth your attention.
It forces every OS to check your age and hand it to every app you open.
Meta spent an estimated $2B lobbying for laws like this. When a kid sneaks onto Instagram, it's your OS's fault — not Meta's.
Linux distros are already pulling out of US states. An open-source calculator is geo-blocking Colorado.
Facebook walked into Congress with a checkbook. Call your rep and oppose HR 8250.
