      I mean, great? Most mainstream devices do however, whether it’s an AppleID, Google account or Microsoft account.

        It’s not a requirement on Android. Like at all. My Windows 10 also isn’t signed into Microsoft Account.

          There absolutely is a minimum age requirement to set up a Google account, which you can see from their Ts & Cs. Whether that is enforced is an entirely different question.

              No you don’t, but like I say, I’m talking about the majority of users.

              Again though, and I’m copying this from a previous response, I think it’s worth remembering that this is a suggestion, and not even originally mine. If you’re happier to use the current multitude of age verification services that differ on a per-site basis, with all the security vulnerabilities, risk, and inconvenience that entails, then feel free. Or bypass them using the methods suggested.

              I’m literally just providing a better technical solution than has been implemented. What I’m not suggesting is “this is the answer to everyone’s problem”.

        Wow now the site knows my google account, way better than sending a picture of myself.

          No, I don’t know where you’ve got that idea from.

              You’re welcome to Google “device-based age verification” to get any answers you need, from wiser minds than mine.
