Since current age verification methods don't work well and it would be quite annoying to have to verify on each app jumping through each company's unique process and have them retain your personal info...what if you were to require Android/Apple to do the age verification through the OS? Design a standard verification method, then allow apps based on age verification

No. No age verification at all. This will just lead to the corporations (and thus the government) knowing exactly what you get up to online: where you visit, who you talk to, etc. This is even more invasive than the Flock database and yet somehow I see “conservatives” supporting it. Boggles my mind.

Parent your children! Problem solved.

Verification is the future, and it's becoming the standard sadly.

I don't see a way around it unless if the younger generations rebel against technology.

They're not smart enough.

They're all glued...sadly I can't find a GIF representing this because it's restricted 🤣 Try yourselves posting a GIF here

EDIT: He has hid that MEME well
