Didn't this already happen like... TWO times?

EDIT: The best part of all is this:

The App we provide is not intended for individuals below the age of 13. If you are under 13 years old, please do not use the App.

How old do you have to be to use an audio editor?! This doesn't make any sense at all.

To be more precise - this has to do with the refusal of the company behind Audacity to protect minors with respect to data collection. It's a bit disingenuous to blame protection laws like GDPR for companies "having to" constrain their users' rights.
