This, from Meta, is what worries me …

“The most effective, privacy‑protective and consistent approach is to require robust age verification and parental approval at the app store and operating system level before a teen can download an app or create an account.”

That’s been the game all along from both sides if you ask me!

It's already being implemented. iOS has introduced mandatory age verification in the latest beta releases that blocks adult websites and apps etc. unless you upload a credit card or license photo. If you have neither you're out of luck
