    The application of age indication is just going to be another metric that these companies use for fingerprinting

    As I said, there’s nothing to suggest they would receive such an indicator, as far as I’m aware. The indicator is only required between the app store and the OS.

      Facebook has “apps”, no?

      Last I checked, it had stuff like FarmVille, FrontierVille, etc.

        We weren’t talking about apps, we were talking about Facebook like buttons on websites.

          Causation:

          1. FaceBook website has apps
          2. FaceBook website is an App store
          3. FaceBook website requires access to Age API
          4. Firefox needs to passthrough Age API to Facebook’s domain
          5. All embedded FaceBook buttons now get to see your OS’s age
