If you can feel a very small tinge of existential horror when you read the words "try to", congratulations, you're a true *nix devotee.

If legislators get grumpy about this, just gently thwap them with your handy copy of The Unix Haters Handbook and tell them you're working as hard as you can under the circumstances.

Not correct at all.

Even in the USA there are 3 different templates for the bill, and they handle age verification requirements at different levels

  • os
  • app store
  • app

Different states are adopting different templates, and alphabet lobbyists are spending ludicrous amounts of money to make sure they're not the ones responsible for billions in fines.

    Isn't it age attestation as opposed to verification? Meaning that the age old tradition of 13yr olds registering for stuff are logged as in their early centenarian years?

    Afaik it's all about legal (financial) responsibility, and that's why most corps were initially lobbying for the status quo. I doubt that's going to fly after all of this, and it's the first step towards having a unique, government ID backed, fingerprint for every online interaction.
