I think you misunderstood me, I'm saying strong (very strong) data privacy laws make age gating unnecessary. This solution has far reaching benefits across all age groups.

How do data privacy laws prevent a 14 year old from being cyber bullied online or consuming influencer content destroying their self-esteem?

This is (in the most politically neutral way I can put it) what people who want social media age checks are talking about.
