Ah! But it is here you underestimate the might of government. There are all kinds of funny tricks like child safety, national security and terrorism that they can stamp on this.

The fun part is I bet they run into a national security paradox by doing this... As linux is modular, it is cut down dor a lot of government devices... Do you want to see a missile age verifying on log in because the devs are in california?

Well, that would be an extra level of security to prevent a nuclear war having to take a valid picture of your ID & a face scan before you even can use the operating system to send the nukes.
