This is what should have been done in the first place.
The phone (and family account) can establish age, then save a token that can be used privately by websites to authenticate age without making everyone divulge their face picture, ID, and private info to some rando 3rd party site.
As a parent, I’m totally OK with that. I want my kid to have a phone to stay in touch with friends, look up info, and play games. You know, kid stuff. I don’t want to hand over a portal into hardcore porn, violence, and stupid bullshit before they are old enough to process it all.
I don’t imagine any serious web or app developer wanting kids trolling around their sites, creating legal liabilities for them.

Unfortunately that is what every corpo wants. Like, you can’t establish brand recognition and brand loyalty early enough. Reap those sweet, sweet $$$ by getting kids addicted to your algorithms and shit.
