• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Just asked ChatGPT why Apple are doing this and it responded with the below:


UK law is the main driver

In the UK, the Online Safety Act has kicked in, which basically says:

👉 Platforms need to stop under-18s accessing adult content

That doesn’t just mean dodgy websites — it also includes:

  • 18+ apps
  • in-app purchases
  • certain online services

So Apple has started adding age checks into iOS to stay compliant.

Yes mate, it’s an absolute joke. Everyone uploading personal information, and then they will be asked again by every bloody app under the sun. This is something we need to pay close attention to. What is an over 18s bloody app or website?

As long as you're using Apple Pay on your phone it's fine, it's just an age verification thing, you don't need to do anything with your other apps.

I have no doubt before long you'll need to provide ID when you do log in to other things online.

The online safety act appears to be pretty useless at first glance. I have mixed feelings about it. The concept appeals, the actual application seems crap.

Until the social media platforms start getting held to account nothing will change. I reported a comment last week where someone called a black player a monkey and apparently the comment didn't break their guidelines.
 
I just downloaded this. It just looked at my existing Apple account and confirmed my age from that. I literally had to click once to “continue”. Painless.

May lad uses Apple Pay, he carries the minimum of cash that's if he does these days.

I don't I just my debit card and keep a tenner in my wallet, used to keep hundred quid in it, but wifey usually helps herself to it, so I stopped and the tenner I've got in it now was a tip off a customer :)

I barely carry cash, bit like you, it always seemed to disappear from my wallet and was replaced with an IOU 🤣

Still always tend to use my debit card, even though I have apple pay set up
