Brazil Law: All OS's Have 13 Days to Add Age Verification A new law, in Brazil, requires age verification on all Operating Systems (including Linux & Windows) by March 17th. Plus a rundown on similar laws in California, Colorado, and New York.




Ready for another age verification bill? Alabama has passed HB-161, which was signed into law on February 17th. - Requires that App Stores verify the age of all users upon account creation. - Requires parental (adult) accounts to control child (minor) accounts. - Requires App developers utilize App Store age verification API’s to restrict content for minors. - Age verification, of adults, to be done via “commercially available methods”. Age of a minor account can be set by the linked adult account without ID checks or other “Commercially available methods”. - Specifically only applies to mobile device (smartphones or tablets). Would apply to “App Stores” on Linux or Windows, when running on a mobile device. - Fine of $7,500 per violation. - Takes effect on October 1st, 2027. legiscan.com/AL/bill/HB161/…
