I’m asking because I just had to verify my age thanks to YouTube requiring me to watch a video that was age restricted.
minus-square18107@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 day agoAre you suggesting that all countries on earth will adopt this law, or that all developers in all countries will comply with the law of one country? Will all previous versions of all OSs be deleted? Will all OSs become closed source so you can’t just remove the age verification part? Will you be the only person on earth who is willing to break an unethical law to have basic privacy? If yes to all the above, then you may need to start learning how to program.
