Complying would require integrating a mandatory process for each user where a third party service checks government identification and confirms a match using the camera.

They're actively working on GrapheneOS support and meeting all of our requirements. The aim is to have support on devices launched in 2027 and things are proceeding towards it. They also want to use our code within their OS to improve it but that's a separate thing from GrapheneOS and interests their business users rather than being what our users are interested in.

We're expanding device support to one of the most widely available brands of devices while keeping all of our security standards intact.

It's not our fault that most Android OEMs aren't interested in improving their devices to meet our security requirements with better updates, better hardware/firmware security and adding more of the standardized hardware-based security features.

Why exactly are you angry with us?

Another possible scenario: Those over 18 and playing by the rules by doing the age verification are labeled as porn addicts with online addiction. Depending on how long they are on those site(s) and what fetish is normal or not. Here is the therapy and institutions we recommend. Future data leaks from the outsourced companies for the age verification are top info for data brokers to get big $$$.

This "verification" works on both sides.

It's already not legal to sell phones with it preinstalled after this law came into effect on March 17, although Apple and Google haven't finished implementing it themselves so they aren't in compliance either.

It will be very easy to install it on future Motorola devices sold in Brazil via our web installer though. It's much easier and safer than doing something like installing Windows on a desktop.

Brazil in particular has unusually high import duties/taxes which add up to around 100%.

is it a good idea to have a "age proxy" like the mechanism for filesystem access "spaces"?

when an app doesn't run unless the OS tells it the user is id-verified, then grapheneOS could say yes, the user is, even if the user hasn't done the process because they don't want to risk their biometric information

I'm no expert, just thinking aloud
