Yes, it is my post, and I am trying to find a reason why it won't work. Sadly, without such a solution, it will be impossible to use many Internet services without having an Android/iOS.

do you think mandatory age verification will prevent/remediate that?

The thing is, age verification as it comes up in politics on a regular basis isn't about protecting children or anything. It's about control. Locking things down more and more, plus more internet surveillance. Maybe getting a foot in the door, though I'd argue the door is wide open already. It's basically the same thing I already experience every other day with my devices and slightly more privacy oriented lifestyle...
