Per the very first reply on their thread discussing it in their forums, which I linked directly to for the post title:

We'll NEVER require any verification or identification from the user.

However, what's gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too? My guess is maybe they start blocking regions which force age gating like Arch Linux 32 is doing.

That's a real good case for the application website not storing it (which is in the CA law)

What about the websites that will store it anyway, despite it being illegal? And what about if the laws change?

What if they write a new law that says your computer must kill your nan and sleep with your mam? what if? What if? What if?

Correct me if I'm wrong, by this rhetorical question you're saying "It's unrealistic to think that the laws will change, or that websites will break the current laws". Is that right?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
