Google has reportedly started rolling out its new age verification requirements for the Play Store.

Failure to prove you are 18 or older could lead to disruptions in app downloads.

Adult users find these new systems very intrusive also report being wrongly flagged as minors and forced to verify using sensitive personal information, including selfies, credit cards, or government IDs.

My hopes are certainly up, given the recent growth of Linux users (myself included ☺️)
