US bill would mandate operating system-level age verification

2026-04-17  Ian Fleming

The bill would require users to provide their date of birth to create an account and use an operating system. If the user is under 18, a parent or legal guardian would have to verify the minor’s age. Companies would be required to create a system through which app developers can access the information necessary to verify a user’s age, shifting age-verification infrastructure to the operating-system level.
