Please do not mention workarounds here
Honestly, considering the law actually specifically says the sites are supposed to take into account these workarounds, I think discussing them should be fair game. If nothing else, in the name of transparency and of calling out uncompliant sites.

Heck, I can’t find anything in the legislation or the legislative instrument that prohibits explicitly assisting children in circumventing the restriction. And I even heard one interview yesterday where they pretty specifically said “yeah, some kids will get around it. They won’t get in legal trouble for it. Only the platforms themselves can get in trouble if it’s too easy to get around”.
