  • The requirement to check age is on the provider. It is not the responsibility of the OS to store age and supply it freely to any service that wants it.

    This data is stored as a non-privileged birth date.

    This means any website can ask for your birth date. Then they store it, and use it for tracking. Private browser? HAH! Not your birth date!

    This has N O T H I N G to do with “children.” It’s about Meta trying to escape moderation responsibility.

    This is the right wing talking. Slowly putting identity into the OS for tracking. Don’t fall for it (unless you’re the right wing, and then fuck you)


  • “The world doesn’t revolve around California”

    True, but OS level age verification is a politically conservative talking point. It was pushed by Meta.

    Age verification is the responsibility of the PROVIDER (the one who needs to age check) and not on the OS level.

    There seems to be a sharp divide between people who hold opposing views, and the right wing is largely behind OS level user identification. Today it’s birth date, tomorrow it’s birth gender.

    None of this belongs at the OS level
