The California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.
I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

I guess there is a distinction. Like in Wayland, a developer can use the xdg desktop utilities to send a Notification or start a Screencast if needed. If their service requires device based age verification, a call to DeviceAgeVerification could happen… and if the user hasn’t completed it or the desktop environment hasn’t implemented it, the requesting service could just not provide it’s content. The California law seems like it places almost like an obligation of speech on developers. Like you must include this in the code. Why don’t they just give us their blob to include if it’s so easy…?
