How does this work with ephemeral servers though? How does this impact a piece of software I’m self hosting and sharing online? Am I going to be fined potentially thousands if my website can’t process the operating systems age bracket signal?
I agree a lot of the coverage is sensational but there are also gaps and nuisances involved the expose people to litigation for no real societal benefit. It also feels like a very slippery slope to more invasive age verification online.
