They're not asking for IDs. The user simply has to declare their age. I'm not happy about any of this, but there is no "verification."

It sure sounds like there's no liability if the user lies: "An operating system provider or a covered application store that makes a good faith effort to comply with this title, taking into consideration available technology and any reasonable technical limitations or outages, shall not be liable for an erroneous signal indicating a user's age range..."

For now. But before you know you will have to fully KYC yourself before using any OS and you will not be allowed to boot your Linux of modify any of the binaries.

And before you laugh it off, let me remind you that this very topic of conversation we are having here would sound as ridiculous just a year ago.
