"Things might change in the future" is a perfectly general statement which applies to any state of affairs which is not restricted by natural law.

That makes it very nearly meaningless.

Maybe, weren't it for the fact that we're having age verification and IDV ("protect the kids"), hardware attestation, removal of 3rd party APKs, etc. heaved upon us.

We've never had so many threats to our privacy and liberties heaved upon us, and the rate is accelerating.

		Apple certainly lobbied against this stupidity. > Cook conveyed to lawmakers that device-level age assurance proposals should not require the collection of sensitive data like birth certificate or social security number, and that parents should be trusted to provide the age of a child when creating a child's account. Any data used for determining age should not be kept by app stores or developers, according to Apple. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/10/tim-cook-age-verificati...
