This shit is getting way out of control.

Also, Linux / GrapheneOS Master Race

Interesting company we (Australia) keep.

Surely just having a credit card tied to the account falls under "reasonable measures" to determine age

I'm actually surprised it didn't do that in the first place. Especially in scenarios like dating and finances.

I guess trusting the app developer to implement it was their original strategy. But with all the vibe apps and countless security leaks, maybe giving it to apple/Google, who already knows what your butthole looks like, is the best solution in this use case.

what is your plan when this comes to aus?

My iTunes/Apple account is over 20 years old so nothing will need to be done.

I MUCH prefer Apple/microsoft/Google being the points of authority on age verification than the government.
