Even if you are confident of that, your infrastructure and advertising partners may not be and may cut you off. A court judgement demonstrating it is definitely not enforceable in the US certainly has value. It would also be more likely to

That's already pretty rare internationally and the odds of it still being the case in five years are zero.

That's not really going to fix anything here. The reason a big company can do this is because they can absorb big liability risk and insure it appropriately. A standard can't do that.

So, now there will be a single kill switch where a malicious government can legally compel Google to annihilate apps not of their liking. I find it hard to state how contemptible this is. How stupid. Everyone who worked on this has blood on

If Apple launches an attestation API that has key material that they control on the hardware co-processor that it authenticates with Apple servers and passes the result back to the game server, then there's no mechanism to intercept it

It rather depends on if you have a specific hardware target. It's the sort of thing I think Valve will do with the Steam Deck eventually.

People are going to to be upset when it happens but it is absolutely inevitable at some point Steam ships a Steam Deck with hardware based attestation of the OS being a signed version of SteamOS, feeding back to a Steam API, that can be use

That's not really true if the exploit requires soldering on to RAM pins and executing on a second, independent machine.

Hmm. New account, no history before this thread. Not at all suspicious. So, DSIT, Age Verification Industry Association or Molly Rose astroturfer?

Steam already blocks games sufficiently for Australian law in some cases about ratings and drug use, as it does in many territories.

FWIW Mastercard are simply lying, as anyone who has ever had to touch adult payment processing will tell you. There's even a (non-public) list of keyword banned terms.

The only way you'd ever get found out is if the affected MP was lying to the public and the identity documents do indeed get retained...

To be honest if you are doing client side watermarking outside of a secure hardware enclave I'm not sure you expect any genuine robustness, because you obviously don't have any.

The law does require sites to not explicitly advocate a specific method for bypassing the checks (or to allow third parties to do so on it's platform, so it'll be interesting to see how that works for Reddit). But I doubt this is

MasterCard have a specific restricted list that bans an awful lot of things in any adult context. Some of how to interpret that is left up to the processor, but it is broadly under MCs and to a lesser extent Visa's control.

There is no first sale doctrine in Europe, and nor does the US one apply to digitally distributed content.

USB-C is trademarked, but USB isn't, nor is the USB logo, so they can't stop either of those.

The terms of the USB-IF don't give it any enforcement powers, how exactly is that going to happen? They stop letting Nintendo representatives having bad sandwiches at the meetings? The EU also only requires USB-C for charging, and the

That is not "selling data". That is exactly what I said. They sell targeted advertising.

Google do not, and literally never have "sold your personal information." They deliver targeted advertising due to the information they have. That's the model. They make literally zero dollars a year selling personal informat

Google almost certainly doesn't turn a profit on YouTube now . It would unquestionably lose billions of dollars a year with the advertising you want.
