AB 1043 requires OS providers to maintain a "reasonably consistent
real-time application programming interface" that categorizes users into
four age brackets — under 13, 13 to under 16, 16 to under 18, and 18 or
older.
Logically, how can that be accomplished without retaining the owner's
birthdate inside the OS?
By contrast, the no-yes protocol lets any relying party query the
owner's MOI personal information vault. The owner can license any or all
relying parties (or none) to query for a binary-only answer, such as "Is
this person over (or under) N years of age?" The MOI contains the
birthdate (personal intellectual property item) and does the calculation
to answer with a yes or no.
Of course the owner cal also license extended family and health
providers to query the actual date.

Has anybody here heard about the new Parents Decide Act? Unlike AB
1043 which only requires the OS to provide an age signal, this new law
actually requires the OS to verify user's age (with ID, for example).
I also found a website that catalogs this kind of law worldwide:

Honestly I'm pretty pessimistic about the future of computing...
