stupid age checks on IOS26.4

do!not!!update!

expand

and this people, is why I say? Protect the kids? More like steal all the data!

just do not update! you will be locked out of features. if you do not have a kredit card you are scrood and will need sighted assistants as you need to point the camara at your ID. this is only on iphone. you can not upload your ID from the camara role!

What features? What camera? Where does it start? We need more info plz

I suppose this isn’t required for me. Nice to be 18 plus ig.

Huh? That has nothing to do with the age itself honestly. I can just take the credit card of my parent, verify, and cool, now I'm 18+ as well. It's about the fact it's even required, most of the time doesn't work, and restricts a device you perhabs bought yourself. Anyway, not here in germany yet so we'll see.

Indeed. I had no such issue but I know some people in the states that have had this crazy nanny state crap.

I think we may need to add a rule against making vague warning messages like this one, because the information is genuinely useful, but the delivery is just ass.
From what I understand, this may only be an issue if you live in places with age verification legislation on the books. The only places I can think of now are Australia and the United Kingdom. So if your region aren't set to those places then you should be fine.

Wait, so you're telling me Apple already went through with all of this and is asking a majority of it's users to age check just as to be able to use some features, and it's not even making big waves? That's sick. Well, Android remains superior for now.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

@10, it's not Apple's fault, it's the governments of those countries overreaching and Apple attempting to comply.

I tell you, in 50 years were gonna have to scan for ID just to exist... Because this is just getting stupid now even at the OS level and now even linux is not safe

your time is coming, trust me. The age verification is a government thing so Google will have to add this to

well guess if it hits I'm getting a really old android phone and putting a custom rom on it that will block that software, or just go to a samsung haven from 2010,

and if it gets to windows I'm just gonna migrate to win7... I don't even know... All these governments are being stupid now with this. What's worse, is that meta (the same guys behind FB and IG) are pushing for this nonsense...

And you with your reactions are ridiculous lol

GOS FTW.

I’m extremely lucky, I actually have a credit card from a time when I needed one to sort a situation out that I was in, and this turned out to be a good use for that credit card as I don’t buy anything on it anymore, but used it to get around the age check crap, well not get around it, but complete it. I’m not gonna use old software and devices because of some stupid age verification shit, I’ll do the verification rather than inconvenience myself like that.

i mean larakthe new exploit mayby

Age verification becomes completely non-existant with Linux because no one owns it. It's publicly available. The only way to get around that is to remove any and all verssions of Linux and have one made by a company deploied by the government. No one's gonna get that.

I mean some distros are probably gonna have that requirement but I think it's gonna be in a way where you don't have to have any ID"s but we'll see what happens.
