Yes, it is my post, and I am trying to find a reason why it won’t work. Sadly, without such a solution, it will be impossible to use many Internet services without having an Android/iOS.

    By the way, I’m indeed having trouble using modern, enshittified apps and services. A friend wanted to use their Netflix account and my tablet just shows a black screen, Linux only shows 720p after installing some extras… One of my apps on the phone recently stopped working, because it’s not verified by Google… Some never worked… I can’t use some services because some shitty company wants my private phone number, and I’m not gonna provide it to them… It’s definitely a thing in the modern world.

      do you think mandatory age verification will prevent/remediate that?

        The thing is, age verification as it comes up in politics on a regular basis isn’t about protecting children or anything. It’s about control. Locking things down more and more, plus more internet surveillance. It’s basically the same thing I already experience every other day with my devices and slightly more privacy oriented lifestyle…
