This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

    Apps will get your age range from your operating system using an application programming interface (API). In other words, they’ll ask the operating system for your age range and get a response.

    It’s likely that we’ll get block if on Linux unless if the OS has a token for that check.

    But I agree with you, Linux is the way to go. Windows will end up being a surveillance camera first and foremost, especially if you couple the “age” check with the cloud integration.
