We should support something that does the minimum to accomplish the goal. As luck would have it, we don't need to do anything because parental controls already exist, and apps like YouTube already have a "kid mode". But for some reason, people are very attached to the idea of getting that number. Your age. It isn't enough to have a boolean isAdult. Oh no, they want to know how old you are, and they want that number to follow tou everywhere you go. View a site on your PC and then load it in incognito to create an account and comment? Oh look, this person we've identified as pockauppet age 99 or whatever viewed the page, then someone registered aged 99 and commented on that same page. This is a data goldmine. But I guess we're not against sharing data anymore.
Have you used parental controls? They're complete and utter shit. You cut your child off from almost all of the internet, or you may as well not have any controls at all.
App developers don't want to comply with them - that's one reason. Now the law says app developers have to follow parental controls, and are liable for ignoring parental controls. That's a sensible law.
