> we simply ignore it and let the children turn out idiots as well

There is not a lot of safeguarding against this in the real world tbh. At the very least I think the OS or internet age verification is not the place to start improving this.

There is some. Bars won't serve minors. The standardisation of parental controls law (the CA/CO one) is much closer to "bars won't serve minors" than it is to "camera drones will follow minors around to make sure they don't drink alcohol"

> Bars won't serve minors.

Bars also won't display a copy of your ID on the main street like digital "think of the children" initiatives are likely to.


If you get caught with a fake ID they sure as heck do. Had many a friend in college with a copy of their ID on the wall of shame.

Neither does the California/Colorado parental controls API law.
