    Me: It doesn’t require anything of users

    You: Yes it does require something of developers

    ??

    You are correct, but how does that disagree with my comment?

      Sorry, I see that I was unclear.

      Yes it fucking does require sending the data somewhere, specifically to every “application store”, which by their definition includes such things as Github, PyPI, Crates.io, Debian mirrors, apt/rpm repos, and personal websites that have hobby projects from more than one person.

        Can you quote the relevant part of the bill? I don’t see it. From what I’m reading:

        • The OS provider has to collect the age information from the user
        • The OS provider has to make the age information available to any app that asks for it
        • The developer of any app has to request the age information from either the OS or from an Application Store

        There is nothing about how the Application Store obtains the age information (presumably they mean something like Google Play or the App Store that already have the information about users and of course haven’t considered anything else), and there is nothing about the OS sending the age anywhere other than an app running on it that asks for it.
