“So it failed age verification and locked me out of many features. Bear in mind, I am 45 years old. I have an Apple account for 25 years, the age of my personal account alone should already verify my age.

Credit cards are not documents. Many people don’t have them. Apple don’t provide any other way to verify your age because they are a stupid American company with American values in which you’re just as human as your credit score.

Age verification is a scam, but checking it with a credit card is even worse.”

@aral there is *already* a working age-verification scheme for UK, I use it to get vape juice delivered and the company has never asked for any other info than my address (OK you have to hand this over but if you're having physical products delivered you would have to do that anyway)
