Comment on Yoti Reported GrapheneOS User to Authorities - Sony PlayStation Age Verification

TL;DR: They probably haven’t actually contacted the authorities and it was likely so made up by the customer service representative.
But there is a growing realisation that they’re giving Google the power to decide who can access web services and who can’t and they’re clearly using it to make life difficult for anyone who refuses to run a device that they fully control.

Either way, it’s a bad move by the exec. Privacy focused folks are already against forced age verification rollout by companies and now this…also, UK ministers are pushing to amend the Online Safety Act, proposing plans that would hold device vendors like Apple and Google legally liable for children accessing mature content. The law would threaten tech executives with jail sentences of up to five years if their platforms or operating systems fail to proactively block mature content…this will further accelerate forced age verification methods such as selfie, ID proof etc…which is especially bad in today’s day and age due to drastic oncrease in data breaches
