God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it’s been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

    Nope. Most of these legislations are pushing for OS level.

      Yes, and the OS communicates this to the app stores.

        App stores and anything else that makes a call to that API.

          Your browser would have to allow that.

            You mean the browsers all based on code from Google and Apple, who also want that info, and will be pressured to use that API to “protect the children” from adult websites?

                That question was rhetorical. Apple and Google account for 95% of the browser market.
