As someone who has been programming since being a young teenager, things like this make me enormously sad. If I was banned from being part of tech communities until the age of 16 or even 18 I would've never been able to learn all I did. I would've never been able to truly get into FOSS. I would've never had a chance to become who I now am. Age verification is literally killing the ability for kids and teens to excitedly participate and learn cool stuff and learn how to have digital agency.
