Google denying me access to YouTube videos asking me to verify my age by giving them either my passport or my credit card should be illegal as well.

Then they expanded it to the app store - some apps, even ones that don't seem to need to be age restricted - now require I verify my age in the same way. I just give them the middle finger and manually install the APKs for those apps.

Unfortunately, no way to get around the YouTube restriction though.

Google having a complete monopoly on this stuff has got to end at some point. They have way too much power over what are now pretty mainstream services to the internet, especially since they cannot be completed with by most companies, even those with adequate funding and reach.
