I'm curious to see how age attestation / verification works in a corpo environment. Will employees be required to verify their age? That would be so stupid it's almost funny
Companies generally already know if they're hiring children
I agree. Companies also don't sign telecommunications contracts with minors. So regulating minor access to the internet / social media should be an non-issue. Yet here we are.
Why am I asking? Because if corpo deployments of windows can circumvent age attestations, then it can be done privately as well
So, all the parents have to do is form a company then to employ their child?
No, just download an enterprise edition of windows to circumvent unecessary profiling.
For some reason I was able to get an enterprise Windows license stupidly cheap when I built my desktop. Some of the annoying crap I see complained about online doesnt seem to happen on mine.
