Windows Is Going to Start Asking For Your Age
Windows is preparing to start asking how old you are.Microsoft has introduced new age-status APIs designed to let apps know whether a user is under 10, between 10 and 17, or 18 and over, and whether that age has been verified. The change comes as new age-assurance laws begin forcing operating systems and platforms to provide stronger protections for younger users. But it raises a much bigger question.
Microsoft’s system currently depends on users being signed into a Microsoft account, while Windows has also been removing many of the workarounds that allowed people to set up PCs with local accounts. Apple, Google, and even parts of the Linux ecosystem are moving in similar directions.
Age verification may begin as a child-safety feature, but it could permanently change what it means to own and control your computer.
