There may be some edge cases. What if a country decided to forbid shipping youtube downloaders ? Or gambling software ?

Shipping gambling software is already forbidden in some jurisdictions since Debian does not do age verification. At least if the gambling involves money in some way. Needs further investigation, does Debian have such a package?

Shipping youtube downloaders has been negatively decided by at least one court case in one country that I know of, but the verdict is only enforcable inter partes. Shipping carries significant legal risks though.

Shipping games without age verification is another risk. Has anybody ever reviewed the games Debian ships under that aspect? I'd help with such a review, I just don't want to install all those games and waste time on playing them.
