To my understanding this law required much more invasive methods of age-verification than a simple "are you over 18?" prompt, which could potentially lead to people exposing sensitive personal information to malicious websites.

Take this with a grain of salt because i also haven't read the article yet, but i remember this lawsuit from other posts a couple of months ago.
