Excuse me but why there are no parents in the loop ? They are first line of kids defence and best suited for that: truly biological need. Not to mention such secondary thing like law obligations. No technical system can bit that. Only make things half baked and stupid or abusive on privacy, logic and actual reality.

Kids are parents kids not some context-less socialist/bureaucracy/german invasive ideology creatures.

If you want to do inventory checking for all that future migrants generations do it like you do with actual humans and not via some outdated and hackable inferior piece of hardware.

Because this is the control / surveillance grab, not the genuine child protection.

Notice how the latest mandatory age verification in iPhones in the UK has been introduced: not as a possible, easy switch one, but the default on, requiring adults to potentially deanonymise themselves. I repear: it's not something the parent could enable/lock in within a 10 seconds, it's something enabled with every adult's phone, something the kid will evade in the same way they buy tobacco or alcohol right now.

That was never about the kids. Otherwise the governments wouldn't tolerate Meta openly admitting they've been knowingly hooking up kids, knowingly worsening their mental health, or Musk's X keeping CSAM generator open while all the world's governments just grimaced and kept legitimizing it.
