So California finally did it. They passed Assembly Bill 1043. And now your OS is legally required to collect your birthdate and report it to every app developer... so they can verify you're not a baby....

Right. Every single external link from the article includes extra tracking. Why can't we set the bar indeed?

@gardiner_bryant I have seen a lot of talk about age verification say that sites shouldn't have the data (100% true) and then offer device level info amd authentication as an alternative. Is every OS being a verified spying device the actual implementation of that idea? If so, it sucks too

@manpacket unfortunately there's no way to turn that off in Ghost. Which is fun since it's an "open source" app.

@manpacket Actually, I just looked it up and there *is* a way to turn that off. It's now fixed.

@gardiner_bryant cool. Much appreciated
Link in your post also had tracking - but that's something that existing plugins can remove. Still... If you promote privacy - do it all the way. -

@gardiner_bryant Name and date-of-birth is also US law enforcement's preferred way of identifying people without using their social security or driver license number.
