If you want to avoid all pervasive surveillance, it might be wise to not mandate all pervasive surveillance in the OS by law.

In fact, I suspect adults, and not just children, would also appreciate it if the pervasive surveillance was simply banned, instead of trying to age gate it. Why should bad actors be allowed to prey on adults?

Luckily some of these laws, which we're rallying against, make it illegal to pervasively surveil.
I must have missed that. Which of them prevent pervasive data collection on all ages?
The California age input law says that the OS shall not give more data than necessary.
And what are the consequences for application vendors that collect more information, including after the age is collected?
