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.

      You can not comply with laws. Its how all piracy sites and most social media sites work

          At least one of the laws made the OS responsible if the determined age is not correct, meaning if you don’t verify the age you may still be commiting a crime, even if it is not required

              I am confused on what you are trying to say, English isn’t my native language. Could you say what exactly the point of your comments is?

                  Ah, I understand now. That is AFAIK correct, however complienace with the New York bill will be impossible:

                  New York’s proposed Senate Bill S8102A requires adults to prove they’re adults to use a computer, exercise bike, smart watch, or car if the device is internet enabled with app ecosystems. The bill explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General.
