Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought. (youtu.be)
 

TLDW:

Brazil is requiring OS level age verification by march 17th, 2026.

New York about to vote on a law that would "require all manufacturers of internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reason-able and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation."

In order to “incentivize” age verification, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that they will ignore COPPA violations for software performing age verification.

Replacing broken displays will cost them less than paying someone to swap labels by hand, and if it does become even mildly annoying to them you will be caught and have the book thrown at you. If you are gonna break the law you might as well do something more productive than generating tax write offs.

Risk criminal charges to cause $24 in damages, that will surely crumple the multi bilion dolar corporation.
