Let's wait for the results of the appeal

There's meant to be a distinction between "addiction" and "obsession". Girls get "obsessed" by boy bands and have done so for decades. Nothing new.
About time a look was taken at what the mainstream media(eg BBC) promotes.

Well it's certainly not entertaining or news most of the time.

Apple brings in age checks for UK iPhone users:

This could be the way forward so that adults don't have to verify their age for multiple websites.

And for those who don't have a credit card, driving licence, or passport?

Ridiculous verdict and award. All this does is threaten to take away perfectly good and loved apps from adults. This is a wrecking ball mentality fuelled by a working class hatred of multi-million pound organisations.

I’m surprised that the States has done this. Hopefully, some common sense will be injected at the appeal.

There will be other ways made available to verify identity for those without these particular documents, as there is for registering for a postal vote or voting in person.

No mention of "other" in the Apple details. I did check.

I don't have a credit card so i had to go with the driving licence option to confirm my age on my iPhone, it took 12 attempts before it finally accepted my detail and confirmed i am over 18. They need to sort it out other wise they are going to ether lose users to Android or the help lines will be full.

I wonder if this data is being shared with the Government and if it is why.
