Why do you think this is exclusive to Apple? Android is rolling out age verification as well while simultaneously making side loading more difficult.

This isn't a legal thing, it's Apple being Apple. The law is about platforms that deal in pornography, self harm, etc:

The comment that you are replying to is saying that it's not exclusive to Apple and gives a non-Apple example. Your link has zero instances of the string "Apple". What am I missing.

> The law is about platforms that deal in pornography, self harm, etc

So...not exclusive to Apple.

It's so not exclusive to Apple that it didn't even apply to Apple at all.

>I see "Big Brother Watch" has their own narrative to push though.

The narrative that people have a right to privacy and we should prevent government overreach?
