    I already read it. That’s how i came up with what I wrote man.

    You go re-read it and tell me

    What counts as “minimum”

    How necessity is measured

    Whether “minimum” refers to data fields, granularity, frequency, or retention

    They don’t cover shit about ANY of that.

      It literally explains the minimum as asking the user for their age, DOB, or both. It then says delopers may not ask for more than the minimum data.

      Further, the law states that if a developer intentionally breaches any part of the law (which would include the requirements) there is a $7500 fine per impacted user, and injunctions. Accidental breaches are $2500 per user, and injuctions. These are very high penalties in context - someone like Microsoft would be on the hook for trillions, and as such, corpos will not be rushing to play fools and test the law by asking more than the bare minimum.

      If this is confusing then please seek out one of the many legal blogs/videos covering it by lawyers because I can’t break it down further than I already have.
