Why is checking age at os-level that bad? - not-Reddit

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for privacy. But between setting up the birthdate when creating my children’s local account on their computers, and having to send a copy of their ID to every platform under the sun, I’d easily chose the former. I’d even agree to a simple protocol (HTTP X-Over-18 / X-Over-21 headers?) to that.

That’s your decision. The rest of us shouldn’t be forced into it just because you’re to lazy to watch what your kids are doing online.

Come on, it’s not about tending to a selected group of people, it’s about mandating more surveillance. OP has done nothing to deserve this anger

Read his fucking post. He said he wants this so he doesn’t have to put in ID every time his kids want to use a new service online. What do you call that if not laziness?
