Isn't it literally just a DoB field added to the user DB? That's not "age verification" it's just a metadata field about a user account.

Unless they did more than that, I think this whole thing is just another case of humans showing their swarm stupidity by spreading panic and anger over a nothingburger.

Assuming it's just a DoB field: There's many sensible ways to make use of that in such a way that the adult owner of the computer retains full control and any user of the computer retains privacy. The crucial point is that the metadata fields about users are under admin control.

I'm not pro systemd but I'm anti being so anti against something that one sees problems where there are none.
