New state laws are pushing age verification into macOS and Windows. By 2027, logging in might require a facial scan or government ID.

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

    “We’re sorry, the OS you are using does not provide the required age and ID verification, We are unable to log you in. Please use a verified device such as an Amazon Fire tablet, Google Pixel 11 with manufacturer’s Android OS, iOS, or Windows 12 device. (**macOS compatibility is planned for a future release)”

    It’s a trap, dumbass
