I’m not sure there’s a direct connection to Sony here (I use a Sony phone and am thus interested in this).
The initial post of the linked Forum thread does not make any connection. The accompanying reddit thread makes the claim that “PlayStation/Sony recently introduced a company called Yoti for age verification” but Sony is not mentioned on Yoti’s wikipedia.
What I am reading in the screenshots is pretty fucked up though.

So just Yoti reporting users to authorities for using Grapheneos, got it.
Even the screenshots have the odor of bullshit. This particular community loves to play the paranoid victim, which is unfortunate.
I agree, but Sony literally helped invent DRM. Sony went all-in on “fuck you” to their customers back when we all adored them for the Walkman.
And it feels like they have only rarely done better, since then, after exhausting all other options.
So I agree - we do jump there too quick.
But when we are discussing Sony, the ire is valid anyway.
Everyone at Sony can go fuck themselves - today, yesterday and just generally.
Don’t forget about Sony rootkits on music CDs
