  • You simply input a random color. How they can check if it is true ? Same for any other field.

    The point there is that complying with the whims of every town on the planet gets to be unmanageable. A town with <1000 people deciding what fields are present for the other 8 billion is insane. I picked color as an example for something dumb that wouldn’t matter. I hoped that was obvious.

    And if you can just lie about it, then why even bother including the field at all?

    In some countries it would be illegal to ask for such data. (EU for example)

    Exactly. How does systemd decide which set of laws to follow? The ones that say you need to report the data or the ones that say you can’t?
