Their websites and services will ask for age verification and Linux will not provide it.

Therefore Linux systems will be barred from using online services. You will need a proprietary spyware OS in order to continue banking, citizen. Please drink a verification can to continue.

    There's nothing preventing Linux from giving online services a random age. Being exempt from the law just means we don't have to implement real age verification.
