Age Verification: Gefahr für FOSS und digitale Freiheit?
Age Verification: A Threat to FOSS and Digital Freedom? by Andreas Purkhart May 2, 2026 Age verification laws in the UK, Australia, Brazil, the USA, and worldwide threaten FOSS projects, privacy, and digital freedom—often without effective child and youth protection. This presentation examines how Big Tech (e.g., Microsoft, Google, Apple) benefits from these laws—and why they systematically disadvantage FOSS. The presentation analyzes and compares various legal approaches, their impact on Linux, package managers, and open-source ecosystems, and attempts to identify privacy-compliant alternatives.
