Please explain… If I’m below the age of… Whatever they decide, what will or will not be accessible to me? Like, if I’m below a certain age, will some EU appointed DNS restrict what domains I can reach? Or, since this article is about hardware-bound attestation, are my devices going to prevent me from installing and using certain apps if I’m below the age? I don’t understand where the restrictions are going to lie…
Bonus: can’t I just buy, say, five phones right now, root them or install custom OSs before shit hits the fan and be happy?
No because you can go to jail for that, like the dude with his GrapheneOS in the US. They’re probably working on that next.
no… you can not go to jail, in the EU or the US at least, for having a phone with a custom OS. They are facing charge for using a duress code which wiped their phone. It is very different.
He had a duress password, and told it to a border agent (who had no warrant, but that is no longer legally required for border checks), which then wiped his phone.
He was targeted for being part of the Stop Cop City protest movement (and they were likely looking for contacts), and now the feds are claiming that because he could have had anything, he should be allowed to be charged with possession of whatever they can think of (I.e. they already tried to claim in a press conference that he may have had CSAM, because they couldn’t search it to prove he didn’t).
The services themselves will probably be made to ask for verification and your devices will answer through the age verification app. Since custom mobile OSs (or desktop Linux) won’t provide hardware attestation, the app won’t work on them and the websites will treat you as underage. The types of services that require age verification aren’t specific, they can change based on EU decisions so eventually people not using “approved” OSs may be locked out of most of the internet.

The real explanation is that they want control. The children are a excuse.

The fact that children can be deprived of rights with only the vaguest unproven assertion of “safety” is a critical threat to the rights of everyone
Sorry, what is the story about guy in USA with GrapheneOS?

Oh neat, they broke the Internet, since everything is hosted on Linux…
