Same. I think Steam may have been added to the list for age verification but will need to double check in case I’m thinking of the UK version of this.
I’m not sure about email but am wary as Gmail addresses may be linked to Google search signins and YouTube which absolutely are going to ask for verification. I’ve been downloading media from Google drive and switching to different email providers on services that used a Gmail just in case.

Officially Steam is not included but they reserve the right to add it back. …gov.au/…/which-platforms-are-age-restricted
As for gmail, I can’t find a clear answer or even anyone who’s asked the question. The whole account deletion thing is stupid, they should just remove all the safety consequences of having an account (limiting interaction, hiding public profiles, etc). Actually they should just make me e-safety commissioner, because I’d do a far better job.

Yeah they flip flop so much I get confused and have to worry about every platform.
I’m really confused about Gmail because they haven’t said anything but YouTube and Google signin are linked so I have no idea whether the email part is safe.
It’s a dog’s breakfast
