Would OS age verification laws affect a Google account on GrapheneOS? (sh.itjust.works)

I understand that GrapheneOS will not require age verification, but what if I'm using a Google account on it? Will I still be able to use my Google account for the Play store on a GrapheneOS phone? (In the US) Thanks in advance

If Google requires it to have an account active then yeah you'll need to do it. How? That depends on how they choose to make it work. As for if Google will somehow recognize that you're on an unverified OS or something like that and refuse to allow your account to work on it is another question we'll be hearing more about later this year.
