In early March, Dylan M. Taylor submitted a pull request to add a field
to store a user's birth date in systemd's JSON user records. This was done to
allow
applications to store the date to facilitate compliance with age-attestation and
-verification laws. It was to be expected that some members of the community
would
object; the actual response, however, has been shockingly hostile. Some of this
has
been fueled by a misinformation campaign that has targeted the systemd project
and
Taylor specifically, resulting in Taylor being doxxed and receiving death
threats. Such behavior is not just problematic; it is also deeply misguided
given the
actual nature of the changes.
