AB 1043 also requires OS providers to pipe a real-time age checker to every app developer who requests it.

    The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require “commercially reasonable” verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks.

    I hate Newsom but this seems like a non-issue.

      If it was a non-issue they wouldn’t introduce this to begin with.

      There’s not a single good reason to why an OS would ever need to know someone’s age.
