Maybe this is the issue. I have no problems with parents setting the age of the children in their account in order limit their access to certain content.

And there clearly exists a use-case for that.

My main issue is when it comes to third-party age/identity verification services. Age or identity verification in the hands of private for-profit companies is bad.

I’d rather give parents the tools to set individual restrictions locally on their devices, then pushing for a global internet based age filter.
