@craigmorgan Apple themselves haven’t said they need to do it, as far as I can tell. I’ve seen bloggers and reporters say it was done to comply with the OSA.
Apple may be doing so in order to make it easier for app developers to comply with the OSA (and the trigger may be proposed US and EU laws which do require OS-level age information)… but it’s not necessary for Apple to comply with the OSA.
I swear, please, if you are writing about Apple's new age verification stuff in iOS, please do not say that it is there to comply with the #OnlineSafetyAct.
The OSA applies to user-to-user and search services. iOS isn't a service that comes within the remit of the OSA, nor are (as far as I can tell) pretty much anything an Apple account is used for.
They may be trying to pre-emptively comply with other laws (such as California's AB-1043), but the OSA does not require OS-level age verification.

Journalist: "You may think you know everything there is to know about my interview subject today. But beneath the hollow exterior lurks something far deeper."
Interview subject: "I resent the implication of this. I'm incredibly shallow, actually. If I were complicated, why would I become popular in this day and age?"

AI guys—and it almost always is guys—really dislike the idea of people having the ability to say no.
The girls and the gays spot the red flags. Big incel/manosphere podcast host kinda vibes. Keep an eye out for anyone who has a drink in their vicinity.
Other than lie detector tests not working, flawless plan.
Copilot is a colossal failure. That button on PC keyboards is a tombstone.

I admire the intentions of the person who put up a “This is an ICE free zone” sticker on the sign for my local park, but I’m reasonably certain ICE aren’t descending on London yet.
We call them the Home Office and they’re also bad.
