Apple iOS now requires age verification to access websites it deems 18+. Not even using another browser like Firefox works, it's blocked at the OS level.

I was putting off switching to Graphene or e/os until prices improve, but looks like my hand is forced.

Edit: VPN doesn't even work because Apple knows your GPS location. I haven't tried location spoofing yet because that's a bit more annoying to setup.

I wanted to rewatch a theater play filmed in the 80's on YouTube. This time it ask for my birth date to confirm I'm an adult. I clicked the button wondering which birth date I could have used on this account then it crashed. Tried thrice more, crashed each time.

We living in a decade where the quality of internet service decreased in a obvious way. At the same time, we should have more restriction and start paying for it. Big tech should at least be consistent.
