I just came across this video made by David Bombal. Yes, I know he’s an influencer trying to sell you his courses and promoting affiliate programs, so you should take this with a grain of salt. But unfortunately it’s true: vendors like Apple and Google are telling us what we’re allowed to do with our phones. When trying to setup your iPhone in the UK, you run into an age verification process before you can do anything else. And they’re claiming that they are using information like credit card or ID to prove that you are an adult.
And it’s not only happening in the UK, it happens everywhere. And it’s very likely that it’s going to happen in your country too. Maybe a good opportunity to consider getting a Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it…

The US House passed the KIDS Act, a bill that would introduce internet age-gating measures aimed at protecting minors online. 🏛️
EFF argues the proposal would expand online surveillance instead of privacy protections, with broader implications for anonymity and the open web. 🔒🔗 https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/dont-let-congress-age-gate-internet-effector-3813

A Reddit már bekérte tőlem, hogy igazoljam a koromat, hogy hozzáférjek a korhatáros tartalmakhoz.
Személyi, vagy "live selfie" kell nekik.
...a Redditen nekem akkor kimaradnak a korhatáros tartalmak, ez van...Ez most úgy derült ki, hogy Redditen egy másik accounttal belépve láttam, hogy az r/hungary-n van egy (akkor) ötvenhat perccel korábbi bejegyzés, amit a fő accountomon belépve nem láttam.
Direkt hivatkozással megosztottam saját magammal ééés... a csatolt kép fogadott.
Ez van. Kár a Redditért. De, eddig sem a pornót fogyasztottam ott. Most az erhun +18-nak bélyegzett tartalmak is lemaradnak.
Ez van.

Time to delete #reddit too.. fucking privacy invading #ageverification bullshit via untrustworthy 3rd party company demanding face or gov ID to clearly sell to whoever wants it, and will be swiped by hackers in an inevitable data breach anyway. :bunhd_angry:

#California Steps Back From Dangerous Expansion of its Age-Gating Law
The California legislature has stepped back from a plan that would have expanded its age-gating law, removing language that could have compounded serious threats to users’ speech, #privacy and #security just to browse the internet. A.B. 1856, authored by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, will now move forward through the legislature without its most problematic pieces.

Yard work this past weekend resulted in poison ivy IN MY EYE. 😭
This poor eye is swollen & itchy & torturing me.
Poison ivy for sensitive people takes WEEKS to clear.
Going to be awesome when everything is face scan age verified.
How old does potato-face scan as??

Am I the only one who feels like #ageverification would just take the joy out of most things? If I had been required to scan my face to play WoW, I would never have started, and never have met one of my closest friends. If I had been asked to upload ID to join a dating app, I wouldn't have met my spouse.
I wouldn't have gotten into coding, found lots of awsome music, discovered meditation, or met all kinds of people from all over the world. My life would have been so much poorer.

Over 60? No social media
Many voices have argued for a ban on social media for children. I have argued on some occasions that an age ban on social media is a senseless and even dangerous idea. What I’ve argued is that the problem is not the children’s age, but the sickening business model of social media. But hey! I changed my mind. We need age control on social media. I believe people over 60 should be banned. To understand why, let’s first define the problem we want to solve with such a ban.1 Ban elderly […]https://blog.gillesdutilh.com/2026/07/over-60-no-social-media/

Right, so even after you turn 16 in the UK, and you suddenly get access to social media, you'll still be banned between 00:00 and 06:00, in a government enforced curfew? 😆😆

I would think that with this new House Bill, HB 1408, Restricting Minor Access to Social Media
https://www.aclu-in.org/legislation/bills-that-restrict-minor-access-to-social-media-arious/
that Mastodon and other DeCentralized Social Media outlets would have an increase in popularity and use and a growth in users.

"Hands off our VPNs, privacy groups tell UK ministers"
"Whether the government is persuaded may depend on whether it views VPNs as a niche loophole used by a small minority of teenagers – as its own research suggests – or as the next obstacle to enforcing its online safety agenda."

Age verification laws are spreading fast, and it’s a massive privacy trainwreck. Forcing users to hand over IDs or biometric scans kills anonymity & builds giant honeypots for hackers.
