Coding has been ruled as free speech. Forcing this into code is no different imho than being forced to say Trump is the greatest and I love him!! anytime you wanted to speak.

I'd be fascinated to see how the US would be if it were completely legal to do basically anything as long as it was triggered through code.

You cam write code that does almost anything, execution is a different thing.

Sorry but that's a stupid comment. What are you, 5 years old not to know how many countries pushed one "law without any real consequence" after another, until people suddenly wondered "how did we get in this hell"? And how many battles the people behind "software" have battled against unjust situations?

I hope no one of them uses steam or visits adult websites that makes them enter their birthdate or tick "Are you 18+/21+?" checkboxes. So much spyware on the web that is impossible to circumvent, my god

I'm sure many trackers and indicators can already figure out your date of birth depending on which web services you've used
