Apple Rolls Out Mandatory Age Verification for UK iPhone Users
Apple is requiring every UK iPhone user to verify their age using payment details or ID scans because the filters are now enabled by default.
Apple has started rolling out age verification to iPhone users in the UK, with the new age filters turned on by default. This means all users, including adults, will need to prove their age either by using credit card and other payment methods already on file or by submitting an ID to be scanned. The requirement applies across the board as part of the company's implementation of stricter age-based controls. Source: https://therecord.media/apple-rolls-out-age-verification-uk-iphone-users
SENTINEL: For ordinary people this means your iPhone will start asking for ID or credit card proof just to access normal features, making it easier for companies and governments to track and gatekeep what adults can see online.
