In Which I Am Apparently A Child...

So, I saw today's news about DarkSword, and although I don't have anything with iOS that old (v18.7 or older), I noticed a new version of iOS out (26.4) and decided to update.

Bad move. Bad, bad move.

iOS 26.4 implements age verification.

It's very simple - just scan your credit card or government id and bingo.

I don't have a credit card.

The government ID is apparently:

- a driving license (which I don't have)
- a passport (which isn't scanning)

This has nothing to do with "Age Verification". It is gathering of govt issued ID to tie it to the device. As it was advertised to the governments, having those data tied to the device-id will help "them" to narrow search for "terrorists" and speed-up the arrests. Eg. before the protest march or like.
