Add a required birth date prompt (YYYY-MM-DD) to the user creation flow, stored as a systemd userdb JSON drop-in at /etc/userdb/<user>.user on the target system.
Motivation
Recent age verification laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc. require platforms to verify user age. Collecting birth date at install time ensures Arch Linux is compliant with these regulations.
This is just a pull request, no changes yet.
The pull-request discussion thread has been locked, just like it happened for the similar thread in Systemd, owing to the amount of negative comments…

No wifi here.
I prefer my health.
And not to have security vulnerability to echo location 3D picture of everything in my house.
Lol
Not sure what’s funny about that.
Did you read that like it was an absurd implausibility?
May want to dig a little deeper.
It’s not funny.
It is, thanks for the entertainment.
