Google's "privacy-preserving" age verification system is coming to the Play Store

Governments around the world are suddenly very keen on online age verification requirements. The idea is that parents will set age ranges for their kids’ managed accounts. So a kid who’s 13 may be in the same app content bracket for a few years before hitting the next level. Google began testing the Play Age Signals API late last year as it became apparent that multiple states were going to put the onus of age verification on app stores. Louisiana and Utah also have similar laws going into effect.
