Last year 25 states passed new laws requiring Age verification laws on sites with adult content. While this was pretty bad for Internet Privacy, it was actually trivial to overcome so I did not panic. But CALIFORNIA, decided to up the ante to pass a law that will likely impact all apps that all people use. California now wants age verification to be at the OS Level (Windows, Android, iOS, Linux). Sounds almost minor when you hear it but when you dig into the details, it is a massive change that affects those interested in privacy, like those using Linux and de-Googled phones.
