Apple iOS now requires age verification to access websites it deems 18+. Not even using another browser like Firefox works, it’s blocked at the OS level.

I was putting off switching to Graphene or e/os until prices improve, but looks like my hand is forced.

Edit: VPN doesn’t even work because Apple knows your GPS location. I haven’t tried location spoofing yet because that’s a bit more annoying to setup.

      Mean internet comments with no one’s real name attached to them means you have a free and open internet for everyone. The solution to bad speech is good speech, not censorship and certainly not mandatory self-doxing

      forcing everyone on the internet to show ID is a huge cybersecurity risk. What with databreaches and all. Literally every ID verifier who said they delete the IDs once the account is verified was proven to be lying after they got hacked
