Isn't that literally the California law?
- skybrian 7mo agoNot which law you mean, but I think there's a distinction between "disallows children under 16 from creating an account" (which apparently requires age verification) and "disallows creating or logging into a social media account from a device with a child lock on." (Which doesn't.)
- gzread 7mo agoThe California law is the one where parents select how old their child is and apps must respect that as a child lock.
- Ajedi32 7mo agoSort of, except OP also says: > This doesn't mean every device needs to implement child locks Which is the exact opposite of what the California law says, going so far as to mandate that open source embedded operating systems ask users for their age.
