OK. Fair point, but hear me out, his is this different than say user1 is admin who then verifies user2 by looking at id and says verified.
sudo moduser user2 birthDate 'yyyy/mm/dd'And how is that different than I'm user1 and user2 and perform the operation myself.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is stupid. I'm also a bit offended about the flatpak comment.

As far as I understood (because the law is annoyingly and purposefully vague-worded), it wouldn't be the user1 the one verifying user2 precisely because both are users (despite their different system privileges). The law requires the "fornecedor de produtos e serviços de tecnologia da informação" (IT products and services supplier) to check the users's age, not the users themselves.
In the end, it feels like the lawmakers are wishing for something akin to Windows or MacOS: the user must link to an online account, which is bound to the corporation, which is then the one who will do the KYC (know your customer) shenanigans, often by relying on third-party services (such as Persona and au10tix) to achieve this.
To me, this is part of why MidnightBSD and Arch Linux 32-bits (and more to come) went nuclear and geoblocked Brazil: there's no way this can be feasible for distros not Ubuntu, Red Hat, that Amazon distro whose name I forgot, or similar distros underneath the umbrella of a fairly large corp.
Yeah, I agree with you. This age check thing is stupid and, to be honest, extremely depressing as well.
