It was my job for a decade to try to keep tweens and teens safe online. Let me tell you what you already know: no law or technology can do it. There are no lengths kids won't go to to talk to friends without prying eyes. The harder you try to lock it down, the dodgier their solutions will be.
Stuck HereAbout the time routers began to give parental rights in the 00s The Onion did a joke piece about all of the high school kids using an obscure plumbing website thread to share URLs, pictures, meetup times, and general shenanigans.
They'd taken it from real life and had made the story more insane.
But yes, the whole internet lock down with age verification is not for the kids. Kids will find a way to get what they want to see and do.
