@sam@solent.social It depends on how it's implemented IMO.
I'd prefer if Apple and Google verified identities and extended a simple boolean API to verify if they are of minimum age in their territory, we do already have a minimum age of 16 for Loops and Pixelfed.

@dansup@mastodon.social Wouldn't that be better off with the mobile provider instead of Apple and Google directly? In the end if you set up a 'kids' mobile number you could have restrictions on certain apps then. Also what about things like @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social as that is android based but isn't run / maintained by Google and a good amount of the Linux community wouldn't touch ID verification because of the tracking and complications these systems have. I knew about your minimum age requirements but would you suggest a ID verification system for them? I guess if you do implement it, it'll be a switch on / off option if you do.
