    They don’t want biometric data. If you already use Face/Fingerprint ID, then they already have it (encrypted, on your phone, inaccessible to Apple). If you don’t, then you can use your password like you otherwise would

    Most people have been automatically verified through having a credit card in wallet, or having an account that’s 18 years old or older

    Remember their goal is profit, and their choices will make sense.

    Bad, evil, and pandering sense.

    No, Apple is just doing the governments' bidding due to laws.

    The real goal down the line is this, to be put in place circa 2030. The goal really is control... with a healthy side of profit for all involved:

    To have a Digital IDs that surveillances and montiors everything you are and do, that proxy control you. For your protection and for the children, of course.

    The age restriction BS is just the up ramp towards this. Think about, why is it that like 15 countries are pushing this all of the sudden, within the smae window. From the UK, USA, Sweden, Australia, Spain, Brazil, etc. Then, CBDCs and then the scam of UBIs which will be used as means to control too, or did people really think that UBIs actually meant that kind governments are really going to give you some stipend cash for free and for nothing in return? Come on.

    Politicians and technocrats are delusional utopian ideologues who think they know better than us on how to live our own lives.

    UK should be ashamed of itself.

    Android only has age verification for the app store at the moment, but I wonder if Google could add it at the device level too?

    Since this is an attack against the FOSS community and especially individual devs. Is this grounds to exclude these countries from use of open source?

    Is there a license which can exclude jurisdictions pushing to chip away at our liberties?
