Comment on Apple begins age checks in the UK with latest iOS update

But this can be used as an argument for the OS to provide a simple and anonymous “yes, this user is an adult” flag instead of having to scan your face or ID on each and every website or for every browser app.

Also, Apple is doing TV, Music, Podcasts, so they probably need the age check for one of those.

I have my doubts (see responses for similar arguments about systemd adding an age field).

Authoritarian governments are not appeased by corporations that bend over backwards for them, and

Apple is in the business of making money, not keeping people private.

  Apple have been at the forefront of keeping people private for a long time, don’t know what you’ve been doing.
