Apple recently unveiled a new system that allows parents to share their child's age with app developers while safeguarding sensitive information, as reported by Stephen Nellis on February 27th. In the U.S., lawmakers are contemplating age-verification regulations, especially in states such as Utah and South Carolina, that would mandate app stores to verify user ages. Stephanie Otway from Meta described Apple's age verification as a 'positive first step,' yet criticized it for still necessitating children to disclose age data to developers. Apple's efforts encompass a novel age range feature for child accounts, aiming to bolster safety for minors using its devices amidst growing legislative scrutiny.
