Their statement has been they will take it off from European App Stores which I think it will not include GitHub.
Also, I am not aware of GitHub having the option to "geolock" a release.
I think this is their "legal" move they have to perform to be compliant to laws, without affecting people that still wants to use the app.
treenutz68 If you read the law, they can fine for every user/instance under their jurisdiction where the company did not comply with the law.
I am genuinely wondering how they will be able to count how many users have been created under their jurisdiction.
After all, if I download a Linux distro and install it in my laptop, how do they even know I installed it?
Also, let's say that with some weird trick on the network they understand I have a linux box, how can they tell it is not an old, not-updated version that still don't require age verification?
All of this is madness to me, it seem to be so much umpractical that they must rethink it.
If they don't, I hope the solution will be something trivial, like a VPN to access the geolocked resource, or possibily (even if I doubt) just a disclaimer on the website forbidding people living "offending" countries from using the OS.
