I’m not saying I’m smarter than you but to me it looks like “Hey yeah we require age verification. So, anyway…”

A token easily bypassed “verification” law to set and forget. It’s basically the same level of security corrently keeping teenage boys off of PornHub.

It’s not really easily bypassed though, if only the administrator can set the date of birth for an account. if the parent does not use the admin account for daily usage (and they shouldn’t for other reasons), then the majority of the children won’t be able to change it

  I meant that the law is easily bypassed, for example by not implementing what you described. Good point nonetheless.
