Does GrapheneOS plan to comply with OS level age verification laws?

Google Play is In my humble opinion a good bit overrated as regards its potential for spying in the environment in which we call it Sandboxed Google Play. It isn't engineered to adapt in this OS and intelligently maintain its unwanted features despite the radical stunting dropped on it by the GrapheneOS development team. In stock Pixel OS, no such mitigation is done, and Google Play appears frighteningly omnipotent.

In Gos, it shows through some 'glitches' how reduced it becomes without its expected privilieges. Occationally it tells me something like 'Safebrowsing has been activated across your devices since your age could not be determined'.

When I check every Google settings, and Google account settings, nothing has changed despite the scary above message about Google Age Play 'closing in on me'. No Safebrowsing feature added anywhere.
No added devices has gotten registered despite "across all your devices".
I even activated personalised ads to get a sense of what parts of my normal habits would get picked up and reflected by personal ads but no, the ads keep being like Harry Potter-ringtones theming apps, like before.

for those unaware as it hasnt been mentioned in this thread, the GrapheneOS team had made it clear they wont ever ask for personal or identifying information, or require an account setup. the OS will remain free to use around the world worldwide, and that if devices cant be sold in a certain area due to their regulations so be it (but getting devices imported isnt hard anyways, and will become easier when the motorola devices are public, so everyone wins)

They wouldn't like to ask, I believe it. The ongoing thread is about what will they do in case of enforcement?

they cant exactly do a lot or expected to do a lot, they could possibly geoblock a region but users can still install and update through a vpn

the entire infrastructure and how the OS works means they cant possibly just prevent a region from using it, and the laws were never written for situations like that, so i guess its purely just a wait and see situation

niko-goso is to pass responsibility

But that's the point, they're already doing that and that's what regulator wants to change, so they have to Ensure. And that's ok.

DeletedUser720 Indeed. Globally we've seen the passing of increasingly invasive legislation permitting broard powers of surveillance and enforcement in "governance" that clearly betrays an agenda to remove the privacy and rights of the individual. To those who are experienced in exposing and removing systemic corruption implemented to achieve an agenda, as opposed to uncoordinated and isolated incidents of corruption, the intent can be clearly seen and understood. Once it is understood that an agenda is being served the objectives become clearer — increasingly so.

There is a clear agenda to move the world into a global multi-polar technocratic governance model across the Global North and the Global South aka BRICS nations. A technocracy built on a Digital ID zero-trust policy based infrastructure.

The application of policy targeting an individual in the physical world can only be applied through mandatory Digital ID. Ironically the Epstein Class are using the widespread shocking child abuse exposed in the Epstein Files to motivate people to accept what will progress towards unprecedented global surveillance and enforcement — starting with basic Age Verification.

The difficult aspect for most people to grasp, especially for those who have experienced only the freedoms afforded in the West, is the degree to which the motivation and intent to surveil and "manage" populations is in the late stages of establishing a global set of frameworks.

This is called "setting conditions" . Some States in the US are actively moving to block the legislative instruments and unconstitutional overreach of the Federal government. California is not one of those states and Silicon Valley is the epicenter of this movement.

Sorry, don't get it, forgot to wear my tinfoil hat. TLDR

BTW, I don't understand why some people are afraid of ai to flood internet with bullshit. For me, there will be no difference, people were flooding it with the same quality of long content.

Edit: Silicon Valley is the epicenter of the movement towards surveillance and enforcement infrastructure, for obvious reasons.

DeletedUser720 Snowden had a big heavy tinfoil hat, right? How about Julian Assange? Any of these names ring a bell? No? What about the Epstein Files? Not enough evidence for you to reorient your thinking and analysis? Covid responses make complete sense? Why do you even seek privacy? Just don't like ads?

Have you listened to the CEO of BlackRock and Peter Thiel talk about their beliefs and agendas for global surveillance? Heard about Total Information Awareness? Where did this initiative originate?

There is a word for when people choose to ignore the reality clearly unfolding in front of them — ignorance.

Fully programmable tokenised "currency" requires a Digital ID. Programmable currency allows any arbitrary policy framework to be applied which is what ex-BIS CEO, Agustin Carstens, is talking about in the above announcement.

Official Stablecoins like RLUSD available on XRPL and Ethereum blockchain are designed for full programmability and enforcement through smart contracts (typically deployed by bank such as a central bank and a compliant commercial financial institution).

DeFi refers more to the technical distribution of smart contracts aka policy applications running across all parts of the digital platform such as on phones, Point-of-Sale systems, across data centers and in wallets, etc.

Smart contracts facilitate reliable transactions and agreements between parties, eliminating the need for traditional intermediaries like central authorities and legal systems (courts), or external enforcement mechanisms (eliminating due process as occured to the Canadian Truckers when they were debanked without any legal process or court involvement). However, policy frameworks themselves will be enforced centrally by stakeholders such as governments, central banks and compliant institutions. This is what Agustin Carstens is referring to. Digital ID is required to enforce policy across individuals and entities.

Just in the past month the Australian government passed legislation granting ASIO unrestricted powers to arrest and detain anyone they wanted to without cause or warrant. This power extends to disabling an individual's or institution's access to finance, indefinitely. Completely outside any traditional legal systems. There is no right to remain silent.

This is not politics. This is policy and bureaucratic enforcement. Corporations can also enforce policy in situations where Constitutional rights limit government power. This is one of the pillars of Public Private Partnerships aka what Mussolini called Corporatism. A version today called Stakeholder Capitalism with ESG type ideological and "social" compliance — a crossover of Corporatism wrapped in Socialism (the not so good kind with a capital "S").

Smart Contracts will extend all of these powers.

Okay this was the OP title and question:

Does GrapheneOS plan to comply with OS level age verification laws?

GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.

I've just checked this thread and there has not been a recent post actually addressing this question as we already have above. The rest has devolved into more in depth discussion around geopolitics, digitalID and CBDCs etc

I am locking this thread, if those topics wish to be discussed new threads will be needed within the rules of the forum.
