“So it failed age verification and locked me out of many features. Bear in mind, I am 45 years old. I have an Apple account for 25 years, the age of my personal account alone should already verify my age.
Credit cards are not documents. Many people don’t have them. Apple don’t provide any other way to verify your age because they are a stupid American company with American values in which you’re just as human as your credit score.
Age verification is a scam, but checking it with a credit card is even worse.”
Posted a long rant about #Apple and how they lost me after being a user for 26 years:
