For software not exempted, the California Digital Age Assurance Act takes effect on 1 January 2027 for requiring age collection at device setup time and age-bracket signals for applications.

As a reminder, the law doesn’t require age verification, only attestation. It’s a really stupid law that accomplishes nothing for the services that now require age verification and nothing for the people opposed to it. It just makes some OSs (but apparently potentially no longer Android?) ask your age on account creation.

I still have no clue how this will work for Windows server (and the cursed Mac servers), but honestly it’s on you for using that over a Linux server.
