Apple iOS now requires age verification to access websites it deems 18+. Not even using another browser like Firefox works, it's blocked at the OS level.

I was putting off switching to Graphene or e/os until prices improve, but looks like my hand is forced.

Edit: VPN doesn't even work because Apple knows your GPS location. I haven't tried location spoofing yet because that's a bit more annoying to setup.

Looks like Australia might be doing OP a favor in this case.

Maybe Apple was protecting me all along lol - this site isn't safe even for adults

Never have I ever paid my eyes upon a website so catered to boomers.
