Believe me, the people writing the age verification laws care a great deal whether the age verification can be turned off by the device owner.
The whole exercise would be pointless if teenage device owners could turn the censorship off.
- AnthonyMouse 4mo agoWould it? Parents who so choose could restrict their teenagers from owning a device and instead give them one owned by the parent and configured not to show adult content. A sufficiently adversarial teenager could get a different one, but they could do that regardless since it generally costs even less to get some 18 year old high school senior or homeless adult etc. to lend you their ID than to buy another device.
