I just started the appimage - it asks you to login to the "cloud" but also offers a prominent skip button, and then asks if you want a telemetry UUID or not.

That doesn't say anything about age verification?
It literally does... Slowly read it again and read about the recent Meta lawsuit.
Please cite this if it's true.
As far as I can tell they're updating the much dated UX from being stuck in the 90's and are making great strides on the app.
