the question you should be asking yourself is not “what's the best way to verify the age of every single computer user on earth”
but rather “why the fuck are we trying to verify the age of every single computer user on earth????”
and the answer to that is: fascism
stop. complying.
@nileane @david_chisnall 's statement is also wrong. The API exposes exact DoB for children if the API can be called daily as it would be for example with an app long installed on the device. On the day the value changes you know everything. In that sense the API is broken and a privacy fail.
Really it's about liability dumping. Social media companies want to do a cigarette company operation where their products are evil and addictive but it's magically okay as someone else checks you are 18.
