alt Hacker NewsI like this. I'm just worried that it's going to make it way harder to create new independent small websites, if the webmasters have to check their users' age.

I think this is by design. I think small independent new websites will cease to exist.
I'm generally supportive of bans like this, but I don't want it to come at the expense of the privacy of adult users. I fear this is the way we're going in the west.

Well no-one said they have to implement it themselves. I'm sure Google and Apple are willing to send a hardware-signed attestation that the device owner is 18+ if required bu the state.
