COPPA doesn't require foolproof age verification IIRC, otherwise the regular Facebook app and nearly every app on the planet that just asks for a birth data with no verification would be illegal.

That is 100% true. It's a regulatory issue that politics could address. Having no proper age verification is not illegal.

I mixed two points here. Contracts that contradict the law and my wish for better regulations.

Which I suppose is fine if this app was only installed in the US. Was it?
