Next step coming soon is “well we need a license scan if you tell the OS you’re over 18”. macOS already requires a 6 step process to “trust” regular programs not from their app store. So this is just end to end control of our machines.
You mean a dedicated license that proves the holder is over 18, separate from your identity such that it's not usable for tracking or identity theft when the verification platform gets hacked?
Yes. Soon ISPs will require hardware based remote attlestations to prove you haven't modified any software that wants to send or receive packets through them.
