For most people the age verification won't be a problem. And anyway, there's always the option of acquiring and using an Android phone if you're unhappy with Apple's offering.

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

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.

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