So once an OS has your age then what it is just handed out to sites so they can target children for better kidnapping?

Yeah, that's the basic idea. Any app can ask the OS what the age (or perhaps age bracket) of the user. Then the app can decide what "age-appropriate" thing to show.

Who decides what's age-appropriate? Is it the parents? Nope. Is it the business? Yup!
