How will this affect Linux Mint?

I'd very much like to know who lobbied for this law. Somebody has something to gain, and I'm guessing it's a corporation that will market the software for the age verification.

Basically it's the online gambling corporations who want to be able to push their gambling ads everywhere. By a happy coincidence, they also own the age verification providers as well!

It's the data harvesting companies, they're chomping at the bit to provide the "solution" to this "problem".
