    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.
