A propos of nothing.

I am now (un)officially under-18! Updated #iPhone. Tried to register the new age verification reqs as part of #OnlineSafetyAct but #Apple ONLY permits driver's licence or credit card, (not passports). I have neither. 1hr with Apple Support - no possible solutions other than get driver's licence / credit card (or buy a National ID card).
So now, no Apple Pay, ITVX, iPlayer, gaming apps or much else until Apple change their verification criteria.
Oh well!

@hastingsmothman how very American of them to expect everyone to have a driver's license but very few people to have a passport

@trainguyrom Very American. I'm not sure Apple understand people in the UK. It seems to have blown up bigtime. I'm not the only person who doesn't drive and doesn't borrow money on credit cards.
