  • 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.

    Not that it wasn’t already, but it might be time to ditch smartphones. The enshittification was bad already, I know. But my phone shouldn’t be asking for my ID to download stuff. Who is that good for? Not good for me.

        Did Symbian ever get to 4G / LTE? I remember it in the 3G era. I also remember having to set the date back when installing apps as their certificates expired after a while.

          I don’t think so, as the 808 PureView (last phone released by Nokia with Symbian) doesn’t. Still, those problems could and would be solved if Symbian had continued development.
