To summarize, the EU Kids Act is considering video games a service, therefore the following restrictions will apply:

- ID Requirement for gaming.

- Indie games that cannot verify your age will thus not be legal within the EU.

Applies to all games retroactively.

If you're 18+ in the EU you should consider signing the "Stop killing the Internet" citizens' initiative https://eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/#/screen/home

I'm wondering why so many mature FOSS projects are going down the wrong path lately. Perhaps it's this: There's lots of middle-aged dudes all over FOSS who haven't really evolved much beyond their 90s/00s teenage coder philosophy of total freedom, zero responsibility and tech/licensing solutionism. When they're inevitably confronted with the social and political aspect of FOSS they go into denial, as so many middle aged men tend to do when their worldview is challenged.

This once again shows that we need more feminism in tech. Much more.

A Pentagon breach left the unencrypted personal records of more than 3 million people accessible for nine months, exposing Social Security numbers, addresses and military roles. Days later, FBI staff data containing similar information was also breached.
