As reported by Gaming on Linux, a new bill brought before the US House would require operating systems like Windows, Linux, and MacOS to verify users' age for installation and, seemingly, regular use. The "Parents Decide Act" has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and is cosponsored by New Jersey Democrat Josh Gottheimer and New York Republican Elise Stefanik.
The bill would "require any user of the operating system" to enter their date of birth to both "set up an account on the operating system and use the operating system."
