Just read about this this morning, might contemplate another switcharoo.. https://agelesslinux.org/

This age verification has been talked about for years now, but this is just privacy invasion with a veil of "save the children", which it won't help in the least. Education and parenting might help with protecting the children, but a good number of parents don't have the time as they did 40-50 years ago due to suppressed wages over a lifetime and as such -both- parents now work more hours than their parents/grandparents had to.

There are parental controls and apps for almost everything. You don't need to strip away everyones last bit of privacy, just because you refuse to make no time for your children.
