Great news, hope many more countries follow suit.
Like banning the sale of nicotine products to under-16s, it won't be a perfect solution as a few will continue to work around the restriction, but it's a huge step in the right direction.
- reddalo 5mo agoI like this. I'm just worried that it's going to make it way harder to create new independent small websites, if the webmasters have to check their users' age.
- lmz 5mo agoWell no-one said they have to implement it themselves. I'm sure Google and Apple are willing to send a hardware-signed attestation that the device owner is 18+ if required bu the state.
- domh 5mo agoI think this is by design. I think small independent new websites will cease to exist. I'm generally supportive of bans like this, but I don't want it to come at the expense of the privacy of adult users. I fear this is the way we're going in the west.
