Old versions of Android do not comply with OS age-checking regulations in California, Brazil, and elsewhere. Samsung face legal repercussions including fines if residents of such jurisdictions are allowed to run an old OS. Yes, the laws apply to entities outside the borders of the territory.

- jimrandomh 8mo agoThat's not how those laws work.
- bitwize 8mo agoOh but it is. If you are an operating system provider and you make available an OS that does not have age verification, the State of California can sue you for $7500 for each instance where a resident of California who is a minor uses that OS. If you allow OS downgrades to a previous version, you could still be liable.
