グラフェノスは、ユーザーが設定時に年齢情報の提供を求められる新法に拒否する方針を明らかにしました。グラフェノスは声明で「誰もが個人情報や身分証明書、アカウントなしで世界中から使用できる」と述べています。その結果、「地域の規制によりグラフェノス搭載デバイスが販売不能な場合でも構わない」としています。
ブラジルのデジタルECA（法15.211）が3月17日に施行され、年齢確認機能を実装しないOSプロバイダーに対して最高5000万レアル（約950万ドル相当）の罰則が課せられる中での声明でした。
グラフェノスとモトローラは、MWCで長期的なパートナーシップを発表し、モトローラ製品にグラフェノスOSを搭載する計画があります。しかし、その場合は各地域の規制遵守が必要となり、「地理的に販売地域を制限せざるを得ない可能性もある」とされています。
なお、グラフェノスは「年齢確認機能拒否の一例ではなく、今後も同じような行動を取る企業が出てくるだろう」とTom's Hardwareは指摘しています。オープンソースの電卓フューリーDB48XやミッドナイトBSDも同様の立場を採っています。

GrapheneOS, the privacy-focused Android fork, said in a post on X on Friday that it will not comply with emerging laws requiring operating systems to collect user age data at setup. "GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account," the project stated. "If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it."
The statement came after Brazil's Digital ECA (Law 15.211) took effect on March 17, imposing fines of up to R$50 million (roughly $9.5 million) per violation on operating system providers that fail to implement age verification...
Motorola and GrapheneOS announced a long-term partnership at MWC on March 2, to bring to bring the hardened OS to future Motorola hardware, ending GrapheneOS's long-standing exclusivity to Google Pixel devices. A GrapheneOS-powered Motorola phone is expected in 2027. If Motorola sells devices with GrapheneOS pre-installed, those devices would need to comply with local regulations in every market where they ship, or Motorola may need to restrict sales geographically.
Or, "People can buy the devices without GrapheneOS and install it themselves in any region where that's an issue," according to a post on the GrapheneOS BlueSky account. "Motorola devices with GrapheneOS preinstalled is something we want but it doesn't have to happen right away and doesn't need to happen everywhere for the partnership to be highly successful. Pixels are sold in 33 countries which doesn't include many countries outside North America and Europe."
Tom's Hardware also notes that GrapheneOS "isn't the first and won't be the last company to outright refuse compliance with incoming age verification laws."
"The developers of open-source calculator firmware DB48X issued a legal notice recently, stating that their software 'does not, cannot and will not implement age verification,' while MidnightBSD updated its license to ban users in Brazil."
