• Google is rolling out age verification on the Play Store, requiring users to prove they’re 18+.
  • Users can verify their age using ID, selfie, credit card, or a third-party service.
  • Some users are concerned about data privacy and reports of being locked out after verification.

        O NO

        edit: if you’re so far into the google play store that you’re buying apps you are fully inside the GOOG. Embrace it and just give them your face

          1. If you’re buying an app you’ve given them you credit card and thus don’t need to show your face.
          2. Stop hating on buying apps, focus your attention to subscriptions.

    This is fast becoming a legal requirement. UK already; many states in the US, soon all of the EU. Don’t blame Google on this one, they don’t have a choice.
