Yeah there was some drama about it.

This blog explains the situation but also attacks the developer that did it and I do not think he is to blame here.

    that isnt age verification though, it is not verifying the age; its just asking the user to input their age, something websites and apps have been doing for ages

    Personally, I don't want my kid to use a device that is broadcasting their age in any way. Just makes them a target to Epstein bros. Going to a site that is asking age verification is different, there's a voluntary step there
