Yeah, because those devices have age-inappropriate content already pre-installed amirite???

Honestly though, how the fuck do they keep justifying the mental gymnastics behind this? If you were to never set a foot on the internet after buying the device, there’s no need for age verification; and even if you do, as long as you don’t visit any site that hosts inappropriate content, it still doesn’t warrant an age verification.

It’s up to the content platform to ensure that no child visits inappropriate content. Think about it: a store IDs a person when they try to buy alc/tobacco, NOT when they just enter the store.
