Technology@lemmy.world•California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setupEnglish

I’ve heard fingerprinting tests are all sus. Don’t put too much stock into them.
Best to do the clean yourself. A tip is to look through your gmail for email with “welcome” “confirmation” in the subject line. These will be accounts you signed up to with gmail. You can also google you email address and look through your password manager or Chrome for saved passwords. The really good news is unused accounts become less valuable to databrokers as the data gets out of date.
For Tails, use a Bridge to hide your Tor usage from your ISP.
