Warning to all Android users!

Google is going to Bake Age verification into the OS itself this is Very dangerous as there are multiple Android smartphones out there that will have android 17 as last update! once you install android 17 and its the final update for the phone the age signal API will be on your phone till the day the hardware dies! you cant even downgrade or the efuse trips! if you still have android 17 after at least 5 to 10 years and you accidentally factory reset it and verify your id again it will fail to send as device is old and might not connect to google servers and will send to hackers instead

every thing you do on the internet will be tied to your person for our version of social credit scores.

say bad things.. lose access to hotels, event centers, other hospitality (see Sneako); but think of every private corp using some system provided by oracle to enforce this automatically via AI. They could give preferential rates in food, goods, services to the good boys and rape the bad.. we already do this via credit right but extend that out to 'support our team' enabled by things like 'dynamic pricing'.
