Won't happen in the US ironically.

Graphene refuses to collect user data. So all those new age verification laws, yeah they just eliminated our chance to go back to the good old days of Android.

    Graphene does not need to collect that data. it's the websites, apps and services that want it. Not Graphene.

    What you are implying is like saying Graphene won't let a phone do any location services at all. And I doubt Graphene doesn't support Maps.

    Spoken like someone who hasn't seen what the Graphene team themselves have said on the matter.

    And also someone who doesn't understand current US laws going into effect.

    This is an OS level requirement now.

    They might refuse adding APIs and refuse to collect data. These are separate things though.

    But upon looking closer, I guess at least one law wants the age check to happen at device setup instead of on the fly? Then I guess that falls into collecting data.
