Ubuntu Still Figuring Out A Plan For Dealing With California's Digital Age Assurance Act The talk this week among open-source projects from Linux distributions to app stores like Flathub is how to deal with California's latest insanity: the Digital Age Assurance Act. California's AB 1043 state law is mandating that operating systems -- Linux included -- collect age information during account setup and exposing that age to eligible apps beginning on 1 January 2027. That leaves much uncertainty for Linux distributions and other repositories/stores and more. Canonical issued a statement today to clarify that they basically don't have a solution to announce yet...
