Hmm, "No" is the answer - that's just the generic guidelines, now that i've read it :(

You misunderstand. The government is not ignoring this. They are encouraging this.
All those new laws for age verification, for example, are to prevent you from using an operating system or ROM that cannot be minored or controlled. Blocking reCAPTCHA on a non-approved, non-certified government and corporate sanctioned devices is just 1 piece of the big picture.

@Linux @nixCraft And I saw a youtube short (ugh, I know) saying that there's now a law being tabled in the US that will mean that government ID will be required to buy a SIM or phone (can't remember which), as an excuse to "stop Robo Calls".
What a load of BS.
Make it illegal to fake caller ID and surely a lot of problems will go away?
The originator should still be able to block caller ID, but then it's up to you if you pick up an "unidentified caller", surely?
Edit: Sadly, I can't find any more details about this at the moment - an original source would have been nice :(

It is not a slippery slope — it's the goal.
For example, the United States has made any new router not made in the USA illegal to import or sell. The problem is that no mainstream manufacturer currently makes routers in the USA. Whatever is currently in stock at stores and warehouses is all that is left.
However, companies can apply for special exceptions if they agree to implement the new control chip or firmware, and pay a fee. Netgear has recently done this.
Here is the story about Netgear bending the knee. https://www.pcmag.com/news/netgear-scores-the-first-exemption-from-the-fccs-foreign-made-router-ban
@nixCraft This is clear abuse of monopoly, and absolutely has to be illegal (everywhere). I cannot see the EU tolerating it.
