I’m interrupting a long break from here to share something I’m just furious about.
I switched iPads, from the one I was using to another (better) 1 we’ve had for years. I simply transferred my stuff from 1 to another…and I have to confirm my age. I knew this was a thing now but I never update phone or iPad so I knew I wouldn’t see that dreaded message any time soon, I totally forgot transferring my stuff would mean an automatic software update. Silly me, uh? But…silly government, actually. Bloody awful, authoritarian govt! Apple knows I’m over 18, they don’t need verification, it’s the BLOODY GOVT that requires it. I’ve had this iPad in my house for years, I’ve had an Apple ID for years, there is NO VALID REASON for me to verify my age to be able to (fully) use MY OWN DEVICE bought years ago!
Needless to say, I’m not verifying my age.
Nuh-uh. Not happening. It’s the principle. This government has no real reason and *no right* to impose this on people. They’re not ‘protecting children’, it’s laughable to believe they care about that - what they do care about is tagging and controlling adults. This is how the digital ID abomination starts, and I’m not complying - I never ever will.
