Credit: Taylor Kerns / Android AuthorityTL;DRColorado legislators have introduced a bill that would require operating system providers to verify the age of users instead of leaving the task up to individual apps.If you attempt to download an app with age-restricted content, this digital age signal would be sent to the app to determine if you’re allowed to access it.If the bill passes, it would take effect on January 1, 2028.To protect minors from the dangers of social media and to prevent them from accessing adult content, a growing number of US states have been exploring age verification. A few months ago, California passed AB-1043, also known as the Digital Age Assurance Act, which will go into effect in 2027. Now Colorado is pushing a similar bill that will lead to device-level age restrictions.Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?
