I mean like it’s atleast AN effort to minimize how intrusive it is I can applaud them for that however I am also SOOO against age verification is imo i think the better approach if we really are going to end up with some digital footprint (I would advocate no no software protections/footprint as it’s the duty of the parents to keep children safe ) I would rather once a children’s account is created on a phone or whatever device a parent can come in and just check a box that it’s a children’s account and then it can just report that it’s a children’s account and then that app could act according . Also it literally should not have the fine grain of knowing exact age it’s a yes or no to a child’s account. But once again it’s just such a stupid game of cat and mouse until you can educate parents about how to keep your child safe on the internet. The internet will never be a place for children to safely be on. It should be the parent indentify an account as a child and that should be IT no witch hunt against getting every adult and child to give age and identity. I guarantee this push for online identification is just to make arresting people that are online easy.
