  What is the best way to ensure you can associate the user with their advertising ID are really over 18, by using a genuine government ID, like a driving licence.

  Totally unrelated but I heard a massive data leak means you can buy pretty much anyone’s driving licence for $100 on the dark web, politicians, celebs, that neighbour you don’t like. Crazy world we’re living in eh?!

  The children have access to child nudity - of their own bodies!

  We need to develop self-locking clothing, and only adults over 18 are allowed to undress themselves

  (this is about the same level of insanity)

  This won’t actually affect anybody because all the smartphones are made in China not the UK ☝️🤓

      Just make the owning of an unverified phone be illegal and criminalised
