Things aren't looking good for the companies implementing age verification, Roblox just reported:
"As of the end of the first quarter, 51% of global daily active users had completed age verification,"
"Roblox cut its full-year 2026 bookings forecast by roughly $900 million at the midpoint on Thursday, blaming stronger-than-expected headwinds from its mandatory age-verification rollout"
And now the player can be relocated.

okay it's not actually THAT bad, but the kinstone stuff just sucks ass. if there is ever an option to have additional buttons for your gear, play using that, because having the kinstones take up an entire button that can't be remapped is diabolical.
I wish I could tell my 19 year old self that the culture war is mostly being funded by the SPLC and that every celebrity on all sides would eventually become lolcows so it's not worth wasting your time spectating on it.
No. I was never on any movement, but I will admit that I wasted my time watching videos from all sides, and it did affect my performance in college. I was only drawn in because the Internet circles I was in were the ones most affected by it.

Utah’s VPN Ban Law Goes Into Effect in Age Verification Escalation
Utah is attempting to cover up the failures of their age verification law by effectively banning VPNs.

It's sad that someone needs to explain the concept of jurisdiction to Utah's legislators and the first amendment:
"Signed by Governor Spencer Cox on March 19, the controversial law establishes that a user is considered to be accessing a website from Utah if they are physically located there, regardless of whether they use a VPN or proxy to mask their IP address."
You can't dictate who must obey your law to those outside your jurisdiction where your law does not apply. This is of Europe which fails to understand this with the GDPR and apparently Utah with this new anti-VPN law. I get that there may be some sites that fall within the scope of Utah's jurisdiction, but it's doubtful many actually do.
Does this not sound to you like they are prohibiting speech explicitly protected by the first amendment? Sure does to me:
"It also prohibits covered websites from sharing instructions on how to use a VPN to bypass age checks."
I will also point out that similar laws in the 1990s were repeatedly struck down that restricted access to pornography online. Requiring identification is NOT constitutional.
In the 1990s, the Supreme Court struck down age-verification requirements for online content in Reno v. ACLU (1997), ruling that they violated the First Amendment by imposing an undue burden on adults' access to legally protected speech. The case challenged the Communications Decency Act (CDA), which criminalized transmitting "indecent" or "patently offensive" material to minors online and allowed a defense based on using age verification like credit card checks.
