>From the founder of Adenix: This is J. Mazzullo and what I wanna say is that I do not approve of your plans to add age verification to Debian. I have already stated on my website (www.adenixgnulinux.org) that my distros will NOT have any age checks and that they are not for use in regions with OS age verification laws, so I request that there'd be a way for providers of Debian-based distros to remove the packages involved in age verification via root, as well as an option to blacklist certain regions/states like California & Colorado. As a American, I care about free speech in this country and I believe that the recent age verification laws are unconstitutional. Sincerely, Adenix GNU/Linux NPSP
