Stores the user’s birth date for age verification, as required by recent laws in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc.
MinnesotaGoddamquestion: do california, colorado, or brazil’s laws have any teeth?
Possibly linuxIt hasn’t passed in Colorado

garbage_worldOnly penalty in this law is for OS makers that didn’t include such rules in the OS, paying per affected child.
and who is the os maker…??
I better question in terms of the teeth of the laws is, are there any real consequences to an operating system provider just ignoring them and not providing any kind of age verification in their software whatsoever?
The question I assume will get answered soon enough by GrapheneOS since they have told everyone asking for OS age verification to go pound sand.
The ca law specifically requires parental configuration of new devices and they do not restrict content. It is there to prevent algorithmic feeds and data collection of minors. It is not age verification and does not allow for content restrictions.
Other places want to use the os to restrict content. There are lobbyists trying to get it to tie an ID to your os and to restrict/report content.
did you peek and see i’m in san francisco(ish) and give me the most relevant answer because you’re cute
