From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The word antisemitism has been thrown around so much that it's lost all meaning, but what you just said, comparing the holocaust to age indication on the internet, is holocaust minimization which is near universally agreed to be antisemitic.
Its not that he said age verification is holocaust. He made the valid point, that no one should mindlessly following laws.
Also, there is a difference between drawing a comparison and equating events, or downplaying the suffering of the Holocaust.
Edit: You definitely can make a comparison, that downplays the holocaust. That would be antisemitic. But that's not what OP did.
