doesitageverify Tracking Repository
repository·master·Indexed 23 days ago
https://github.com/bryanlunduke/doesitageverifyA tracking repository monitoring the implementation status of age verification and age attestation features across Closed Source and Open Source operating systems in response to global legislation. It tracks OS developer responses to regional laws in jurisdictions such as Brazil, California, and Colorado, and categorizes operating systems by their implementation status: implemented, planning, uncertain, or not implementing.
What's inside doesitageverify
- This project maintains a running list of Operating Systems (both Closed Source like Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS, and Open Source like Linux and *BSD) and their current status regarding age verification implementation. It tracks how different OS developers respond to regional laws requiring age verification and reporting.
Track age verification laws by locale
masterThe project tracks the status of OS-level age verification laws across different jurisdictions:
- Passed Laws: Brazil, California, and Colorado.
- Proposed Laws: U.S. Federal Law, Illinois, and New York.
- Withdrawn Laws: Michigan.
Reference: Operating Systems planning to implement age verification
masterThe following Operating Systems have made plans or statements indicating an intent to comply with age verification laws, though functionality is not yet fully implemented:
Operating System Notes Microsoft Windows [Status] Google Android [Status] Google ChromeOS [Status] Ubuntu [Planning Discussion], [Ubuntu VP Statement] Pop!_OS [System76 Statement opposing, but planning to implement] elementary OS [Founder Statement planning to implement] Fedora [Planning Discussion] Debian [Will help downstream distros to implement] Reference: Operating Systems that have implemented age verification
masterThe following Operating Systems have officially added default Age Verification (or Age Attestation) functionality to their primary released versions:
Operating System Notes Apple macOS [Status] Apple iOS [Status] Midnight BSD [License temporarily forbids usage in Brazil, California], [but Age Attestation added by default] Reference: Operating Systems with uncertain age verification future
masterThe following Operating Systems have provided nebulous or confusing statements regarding whether they will ship with age verification in the future:
Operating System Notes CachyOS [Developer statement] MX Linux [Developer statement] Solus [Developer statement] AlmaLinux [Developer statement] Reference: Operating Systems not implementing age verification
masterThe following Operating Systems have either decided not to implement age verification or are restricting access in regions where such laws exist:
