@ireneista My impression, and I think @npdoty 's, is that the California law makes OSes *ask* their owner for the user's age, in order to pass it on to apps. It doesn't make them verify that age, so it facilitates parents working with websites to give their kid an appropriate experience. If a kid is more mature than their age implies, or websites are hiding age-appropriate information, the device owner can say a different age. Seems in line with https://www.w3.org/TR/privacy-principles/#guardians Much better than the jurisdictions that are requiring sites to verify with private-info uploads.
I could be missing something, of course.
