Wouldn’t GrapheneOS have the Linux kernel and therefor also the same age restrictions? Genuine question here.
The bill targets "operating system providers" and it's called GrapheneOS. So yes, they would be subject to this law if they are based in USA.
They're based in Canada, and given their privacy-focused approach I can't imagine they'd implement such a feature.
They've already stated quite clearly that they will not implement age verification.

You know till Canada does it and then they won't have a choice.
I doubt if our courts will allow such a law.
This would have to live at the distro level I believe, not at the kernel level
